Hydrangea serrata 'Tiny Tuff Stuff'

Hydrangea serrata 'Tiny Tuff Stuff': Petite Lacecaps that Rebloom All Summer

Hydrangea serrata 'Tiny Tuff Stuff' is a Proven Winners® mountain hydrangea that brings classic lacecap charm to a truly compact, border-friendly shrub. Delicate, double-sepal lacecap flowers bloom blue, with colour that can soften into shades of blue-pink-white depending on soil conditions. It reblooms throughout the summer, keeping the plant colourful and fresh long after many shrubs have finished. With its neat mounded habit, it’s a polished choice for small gardens and front-of-border design.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 1.5–2’
• Spread: 1.5–2’
• Flower Colour: Blue, with colour ranging in delicate shades of blue-pink-white
• Flowering Period: Re-blooms throughout the summer
• Foliage: Green, deciduous shrub foliage
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun to Part Shade
• Soil Requirements: Moist, well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter

Uses and Benefits: Perfect for smaller gardens, foundation plantings, and the front of mixed borders where you want long-season bloom without a large footprint. Its lacecap flowers add a lighter, more detailed texture than mophead types, which pairs beautifully with finer foliage and woodland-edge plantings. The compact form also makes it easy to repeat along a walkway for a tidy rhythm of summer colour.

Care Instructions: Water regularly during the first season to establish, then keep soil evenly moist through summer for the best rebloom and overall vigour. Mulch helps conserve moisture and protects the root zone. Prune lightly in early spring to remove winter damage and tidy the shape, and avoid heavy pruning so the plant can continue to set blooms through the season. A spring top-dressing of compost supports healthy growth and reliable flowering.

History: Part of the Proven Winners® Tuff Stuff™ Series, 'Tiny Tuff Stuff' was selected to deliver reblooming mountain hydrangea performance in a smaller, more space-smart plant, with distinctive lacecap flowers that add refined texture to garden designs.

Final Thoughts: When you want the elegance of a lacecap hydrangea in a compact shrub that keeps blooming, Tiny Tuff Stuff offers a long, bright summer show in a size that fits almost anywhere.
