Hydrangea ‘Bouncy’ is a compact panicle hydrangea selected for its sturdy stems and abundant summer blooms that remain upright without flopping. Large cone-shaped flower clusters open creamy white and gradually develop soft pink tones as the season progresses, providing long-lasting colour from summer into fall. Its naturally rounded habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller landscapes, foundation plantings, and mixed shrub borders.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
Grow in full sun in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Roses perform best with consistent moisture and benefit from mulching to retain soil moisture and moderate temperature. ‘Fruity Petals’ is bred for improved disease resistance but good air circulation will further reduce risk of mildew or black spot. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering. Prune in early spring to shape and remove winter damage.
