I am impressed with Tuff Stuff
Comments (35)The Tuff Stuff I planted a year or two ago is also doing poorly in the flowering department - not worth taking a picture of the few florets that have some colour! But my Tiny Tuff Stuff planted 5 or 6 years ago that has not done anything much since, is finally making a show! Mind you, it's so small that a show doesn't amount to much :-) Maybe the big Tuff Stuff needs a few years too to mature enough to flower decently....?

Hopefully the full-sized Tuff Stuff will eventually perform as expected!...See MoreHydrangea 'Tiny Tuff Stuff not blooming'
Comments (24)I think you and PW may be measuring bloom reliability differently. These rebloomer shrubs produce two flushes of blooms and are newly developed so those are some of the reasons why the varieties are rated by PW as bring more reliable. They are not trying to imply that you will get spring blooms always or that their old wood will not get killed in some winters, though. The first spring 2023 flush requires that the dormant flower buds from last July-August 2022 bloom in spring 2023; it sounds like only a handful of stems survived and are now blooming for you. But ensure you do not prune leafless stems too early: perhaps prune by the end of May in the south; by the end of June or thereabouts further north (it varies by geog location). The December 22nd arctic blast may have killed buds or stems if it affected you like it did here in the south this season. The second flush in late summer/fall 2023 requires that the new, spring 2023 stems get tall enough to quickly develop flower buds and open them immediately by late summer/fall 2023 or before. It may be too early to see if those will fail to bloom....See MoreTuff or Tiny Tuff?
Comments (4)All right, it should be getting ready to start blooming soon for you then, right? Enjoy. I had seen both for sale together down here a month ago but only a few pots of Tiny Tuff Stuff were left in stock now. Hydrangea stock are going downhill over here now; not too many left compared to several months ago. Too bad. Sigh. I usually like to see hydrangeas blooming when I visit the stores... even if not going to there to buy them....See MorePrune limelight now? Tuff stuff?
Comments (1)It is really not advised to prune any woody plant in fall - even late fall. Unless fully dormant, pruning can stimulate growth that will be overly vulnerable to winter damage and that can lead to diseases and pest issues. If you can, hold off to at least late January or early February....See Moreenchantedrosez5bma
