Well-marked as the bloom emerges, the border softens and its colour spreads through the petal once in full flower. In an acid soil containing alumina, So Long® Sunny acquires sky-blue tones.

Beginning towards the end of June, it flowers abundantly in July-August and will continue into September and even October. With its compact shape and vigorous stems, it's a fine garden hortensia that can be grown alone, in groups, as a low hedge or in large pots.The So Long® range, launched by Sapho in 2017, consists of new varieties of remontant hortensias for cool climates.
