USDA Hardiness Planting Zones

To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

  • If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
  • If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Plant Information

3-4' tall x 3-4' wide. 'Cherry Explosion' Hydrangea is a great choice for bringing bold color to full and part-shade gardens. In cooler climates, full sun is no problem; however, you'll need to provide protection from hot afternoon sun in the deep south. This hardy lacecap variety produces rich, red blooms that appear on new wood each season and contrast beautifully against light-pink center petals and dark-green leaves. 'Cherry Explosion' performs beautifully in a wide variety of climates, soils, and altitudes, from zones 4 through 9. Tolerant of heat, you can expect this shrub to spread and grow a bit larger in warm areas, while gardeners in cooler zones will see strong rebounds from winter dieback each spring. Be sure when watering to water at the base of the hydrangea. Makes an exceptional addition to flower arrangements, either fresh or dried.
