Cherry Go Round™ Reblooming Hydrangea

Round-Leaved Sundew is a native carnivorous plant, easily recognized by its bright green leaves covered in distinctive red, glandular hairs. These hairs secrete a sticky substance that is used to attract, trap, and digest insects. Their carnivorous nature allows them to survive in nutrient-poor, acidic soils where many other plants may struggle to grow.
They produce small white flowers that grow along the top of a slender, leafless stem. They can be found growing in wetlands, most often among sphagnum moss, in consistently moist, acidic soils. It does best in cooler summer climates and is intolerant of shade. Due to its small size, the plant can be difficult to spot in its natural habitat. Round-Leaved Sundew is an indicator of healthy wetland systems and is valued in ecological restoration and conservation projects.

Cherry Go Round Reblooming Hydrangea™ is a compact flowering shrub. The deep red flowers will bloom in late spring and last until fall. The mophead-like flowers add multi season interest to your landscape. The petite form is well suited for urban yards and tight spaces.

Flowers grow on old wood which requires only spent flowers and damaged wood to be removed. The Cherry Go Round Reblooming Hydrangea is part of the Bloomin’ Easy® collection.

On the prairies, some customers will plant the Cherry Go Round Reblooming Hydrangea in pots and over winter them in their garage. They need additional winter protection for the flower buds.

Note: Flower colour may be influenced by the soil pH. In more alkaline soils the flowers will emerge more pink whereas those in acidic soils will be a deep purplish red. They prefer slightly acidic soils with a pH of 5.7-6.5.
