2 Gallon First Editions Eclipse Hydrangea Shrub

My hydrangea arrive today, a little wilted from our 90+ degree weather this week - plus a little more heat inside the delivery van - but totally robust. I was astonished by its blooms. Gorgeous! Beautiful maroon flowers with complementary chartreuse centers and beautiful multicolored leaves. When I first saw them, I thought of TAMU friends. These plants would make a perfect gift for flower loving Aggies. The size of the plant is larger than most plants shipped in pots this size; a great value for the money and color. The plant arrive healthy and well packed. I would offer the growers more stars if available.

In the middle of hot/dry summer, I ordered Eclipse, a 2024 Intro that is hard to find and Flowerfull, 2025's featured intro from Bailey Nursery/First Editions that promises abundant blooms on strong stems and rebloom. Having never ordered plants online AND since it was the middle of August, I set my expectations VERY low, hoping I wouldn't find small, wilted plants, that were near death. Instead, the plants that arrived were lush, full, HUGE, carefully packaged and simply gorgeous! This seller completely exceeded my expectations! Flowerfull still had blooms and the rest of the season to enjoy! I watered them well and placed in a partly shaded location. The last pic is from day 2 and I would have thought these came from a premier local garden center. I will definitely order more FIRST EDITIONS hydrangeas again!

2 Gallon FIRST EDITIONS Eclipse Hydrangea Shrub ordered from Amazon arrived quickly after I had made the purchase. The 2 gallon Hydrangea plant arrived in a sturdy box ensuring protection from shipping mishaps. I was so amazed at how beautiful and healthy the hydrangea plant was with a full foliage of leaves. The base of the plant was moist and the roots were strong. I would highly recommend purchasing from this company.

Plants didn't last 3 months. Tried to reach customer service without any return call. Review from an avid gardener.

They arrived looking a bit frail . Branches were broken off, I took them out and watered them but truly they were not bone dry . I will plant them in 4 weeks -still too cold here in New England . I will update .

I was incredibly hesitant buying this hydrangea on Amazon, as a rule I like to buy my garden plants locally. BUT I couldn’t find it anywhere and I wanted it! I figured it might be a toss up on whether or not I got a good one, but I could always request a refund. That said I am thrilled! I really received a beautiful plant with way more growth than I thought. The leaves have the dark color as expected. Its fullness is lopsided, initially I thought from just being in the box, but I think one side must have receive more sun or something. I am 100% sure that it will even out once planted in my yard and with any pruning I do over the seasons. So it is not a big deal. Out of the box the hydrangea was obviously thirsty and a little smushed, but after a couple days out and a nice drink she is looking healthy and beautiful (see photo). Absolutely worth the price, especially since the online nurseries I had never heard of were selling for double the cost for quart size.

I took a chance on these after another order fell through and I’m glad I did they are beautiful. A great size and very healthy and you can’t beat the price on these. They came in as very healthy plants so now I’ve just got to keep them alive 😆

Just gorgeous and so well packed
