Description
xA reblooming bigleaf hydrangea whose double florets curl and swirl from spring straight through fall — shifting blue in acidic soil, pink in alkaline.
The Tilt-A-Swirl® Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'QUFU') is a compact, season-long bloomer that brings a fresh twist to the classic mophead. Each flowerhead is packed with semi-double, pinwheel-shaped florets that seem to spin around the cluster, and because it blooms on both old and new wood, you get color from late spring well into autumn rather than a single early flush. The blooms range from soft blue to rosy pink depending on your soil pH, carried above clean, deep-green foliage on a tidy 3-4 ft. rounded shrub. Its modest footprint makes it as much at home in a large container as in a mixed border.
Why growers choose the Tilt-A-Swirl®
- Reblooming power. Flowers on old and new wood, so it bounces back after a hard winter or a mistimed prune and keeps producing fresh heads spring through fall.
- Distinctive florets. Semi-double, swirled petals give each mophead more texture and depth than a standard single-floret hydrangea.
- Color you control. Blooms turn blue in acidic soil and pink in alkaline soil, letting you tailor the palette to your garden.
- Compact, well-behaved habit. A neat 3-4 ft. mound that rarely needs heavy pruning and fits tight spaces and pots.
- Reliable cold-hardiness. Comfortable in USDA zones 5-9, returning year after year across a wide swath of the country.
Use it as a foundation planting along a shaded entry, group several for a low informal hedge, weave it into a mixed shade border, or feature a single plant in a glazed container on a part-sun patio. It is also a generous source of cut flowers for summer arrangements.
