Tiny Tuff Stuff™ Mountain Hydrangea

Tiny Tuff Stuff™ is a compact, reblooming mountain hydrangea with delicate lacecap flowers and a rounded, mounded habit. Flower color varies with soil conditions, ranging from blue in acidic soils to pink and sometimes white, with blooms continuing from summer into fall. ## Size and garden use Published sizes vary: [Proven Winners](https://c5.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/tiny-tuff-stuff-mountain-hydrangea-hydrangea-serrata) and [Spring Meadow Nursery](https://springmeadownursery.com/plantfinder/tiny-tuff-stuff-43900) list about 18–24 inches, while the exact-selection profile at [Hydrangea.com](https://hydrangea.com/products/tiny-tuff-stuff-mountain-hydrangea) lists 2–3 feet. Allow room for the broader published spread; the compact shrub suits borders, containers, edging, and low hedges. ## Color and growing conditions The named selection is Hydrangea serrata ‘MAKD’, PP#24,842 and CBR#5125. Acidic soil with available aluminum favors blue flowers; more basic soil tends toward pink. The U.S. plant [patent record](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP24842P2/en) shows a grant date of September 2, 2014. Grow in full to part sun, giving afternoon shade in hot sites. Keep soil evenly moist but well drained; water regularly, especially where the plant receives more sun. A layer of shredded bark mulch helps conserve moisture. ## Maintenance Tiny Tuff Stuff flowers on old and new wood, but leaving stems intact protects its main display. Avoid routine cutting back; remove dead wood in early spring. It may be shaped after its first flowering, though routine pruning is unnecessary.
