Design Ideas
Hydrangeas are a gorgeous foundation plant, large enough for solid green color throughout the growing season, with a bonus of gorgeous flowers. Plant in problematic acidic soils beneath canopies of shade trees or even smaller accent trees. Showy blooms are attention-getters at focal points, and planting in groups intensifies this overall effect. Good for edging outdoor living spaces with cooling, rich green foliage and close up appreciation of huge flower trusses. A vital component of a florist's or crafter's landscape when massed to provide plentiful cutting material.

Care Instructions
Provide enriched, well-drained soil that is moist but not soggy. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and protect in harsh winters. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system. Once established, water as needed to maintain evenly moist soil. Feed in early spring. Deadhead spent blooms; prune dead or weak stems as needed.
History
A 2018 introduction, bred by Kolster BV in the Netherlands; exclusive to Monrovia. Cape Lookout, and other selections from the Seaside Serenade collection, are tetraploid hydrangeas bred for remarkable traits that make it naturally compact and robust. A breakthrough in hydrangea breeding, with huge (12" across), long-lasting, mop-head blooms held on thick, tough stems with deeply colored, resilient, leathery foliage. U.S. Plant Patent #30,268 was issued in March of 2019.
