It sets flowers on new stems as well as old, so soft pink lacecap heads keep coming from spring right into winter rather than in one summer flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is compact, growing to about 0.9 metres tall and wide, which makes it one of the easiest hydrangeas to fit into a pot, a courtyard or the front of a border. In mild districts it holds much of its foliage through winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it morning sun and afternoon shade in rich, moist soil that drains well. Like other pink hydrangeas, the colour responds to soil: neutral to alkaline soil keeps it pink, while strongly acidic soil can push it towards mauve. The flowers last well in a vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:44px 0 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:1.5px;margin:0 0 8px;padding-top:32px;border-top:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);text-transform:uppercase;color:currentColor;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 24px;color:currentColor;opacity:0.65;font-size:14px;font-style:italic;\"\u003eAbout Pink Trail Blazer Hydrangea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eHow big does 'Trail Blazer' grow?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eAbout 0.9 metres tall and 0.9 metres wide, with a compact, rounded habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eWhy does it flower for so long?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eIt sets flowers on new stems as well as old ones, so it keeps producing heads from spring into winter instead of one summer flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eWill it stay pink?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eIn neutral to alkaline soil, yes.
