'Big Daddy' is a reblooming mophead cultivar that will flower on both old and new growth. If flower buds are destroyed by severe winter conditions, the plant can still produce some sporadic flowering in summer on new growth. Old growth bloom occurs in June-July with a continuing rebloom on new growth occurring during the rest of the summer into fall. This shrub typically grows to 5-6' tall and as wide. Rounded snowball-like inflorescences (globose cymes) grow, as suggested by the cultivar name, to a whopping 12-14" diameter. Florets are pink in alkaline soils and blue in acidic soils. Deltoid leaves (to 6" long) are glossy dark green. U. S. Plant Patent PP14,527 was issued on February 10, 2004.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture."
