Customer Reviews for PROVEN WINNERS 4.5 in. Qt. Tuff Stuff Reblooming (Mountain Hydrangea) Live Shrub, Blue, Pink, and Purple Flowers

Healthy plants; superbly packaged. I'm hoping to enjoy blooms on these hydrangeas for many years to come in my gardens. Since I do not make the time to winter protect any of my plants, I am hopefully that these will be hardy and bloom in my zone 5 gardens, unlike many of the marcophylla hybrids I've tried. The winter hardiness and size of these hydrangeas is what convinced me to order them. These will be planted among hostas and lilies in my partial shade perennial border. My order of four hydrangeas - two tuff stuff and two bobo - arrived without issue. The plants are all healthy, leafed out and ready to grow. The packing was excellent - the box was supportive and ventilated and the plant root balls were placed in plastic bags, secured with draw cords. This ensured delivery of my plants with no signs of damage or distress. My only issue with my order is that either a substitution was made or the plant packager grabbed the wrong plant for my 2nd tuff stuff. The marking on the pot leads my to believe my 2nd tuff stuff is actually an invincibelle ruby. Based upon the quality of the shipping system and the sale price [and free shipping offer], I will be ordering a few more hydrangeas from Lowes & Proven Winners later today. They delivered healthy plants that I cannot source locally from either the garden department at a big box store or from a nursery.

I was very impressed with the packaging (see pictures). I have never ordered potted plants on the Internet before. The tag indicates that this hydrangea will grow to be 2.5' x 2.5'. There seem to be really good varieties to chose from compared to the limited selection in the store. I ordered 4 plants. They all arrived in the same box.

It died. I want a refund. It was sent pruned to the max, dead leaves. Just died in less than a week.

They arrived in good condition. I did all the watering sunlight as per instructions . But they did not make it , withered away. Very sad .

Can't really review until next year

I just planted this a month ago, so there are no blooms. The foliage is holding up well considering how little rain we've gotten. I've watered it about once a week. The thick mulching helps too. I'm impressed how the little plant has survived this harsh summer so far.

Nothing like picture. Very small. Was dry and struggling to survive.

The ones I just ordered are doing just as well as the ones I ordered last year! I am very happy with these and the ease of ordering them straight to my door.

Arrived on time very welled packaged and looked healthy

There were no buds when I received it, and it still has no buds. It’s been about 2 months. Not one single flower

Great quality plants, small but in very good condition for planting.

Arrived very sad, still sad.

it arrived healthy and bigger than I expected ,this is all I have to say

The Tuff Stuff Mountain Hydrangea arrived very healthy and in great condition. After planting, it adjusted without shock and is growing

The product shipped quickly and was in excellent condition when received. I played immediately and already am pleased with how well the plants are doing.

I planted them and they never did anything. They are dead.

My local Home Depot will not exchange after they died 2days in . I paid all this money for nothing. Terrible service

So far so good. New growth has appeared. I used this as a bookend with a Tuff Stuff Reblooming (Mountain Hydrangea) on the other end of pencil trees and bottle brush shrubs to frame our bedroom window. The pencils frame the window, bottle brushes remain even with window and these cap each end. Should be a pretty combination if these continue growing as described online.

When I opened the package, the plant looked diseased and dying. Once I planted it, it only continued to brown an die

Tiny and almost dead when I got it

The plants looked very unhealthy

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Plant was in great shape when it arrived. Exactly how it was presented online.

These were rather small I expected a larger plant but so far they're surviving. Spring 2021 will be the true test !

Proven winners is the best!! I won’t order plants anywhere else. The best on the market. This shrub is thriving in my garden! Love it!!!
