Hydrangea 'Early Blue' is a compact, deciduous shrub known for its vibrant, mophead blooms that range from rich blue to purple, depending on soil pH. Flowering begins in early summer—often earlier than other hydrangeas—making it a favorite for adding early-season color to gardens. It thrives in partial shade with moist, well-drained soil and reaches about 60–90 cm in height, making it ideal for borders, containers, or small spaces. Regular pruning after flowering and slightly acidic soil help maintain its vivid coloration and tidy shape.
Hydrangea's lose their leaves in winter and look bare with just stalks. View these tips below to care for your hydrangea through winter.

| July | Dormant | Bare stems, no new growth | Prune (if frost not severe), protect from frost |
| August | Ending dormancy | Swelling buds, early leaves (warm areas) | Finish pruning, prepare soil, start light feeding |
