Important Information About Hydrangeas & Flowering Shrubs
Hydrangeas and similar shrubs are living, seasonal plants, and their appearance will naturally vary throughout the year. Plants may arrive leafless, budding, or in full growth depending on the season.
Flowering and foliage can change with conditions, and some browning or dropped leaves/blooms may occur during shipping or as part of the plant’s normal seasonal cycle — even in summer. This is normal and will not affect long-term health.
Please note that plant sizes refer to mature growth, and bloom colour may vary depending on soil pH and environment. We are unable to accept returns based on seasonal changes or temporary cosmetic imperfections.
