Tara my Nikko is in mostly shade with some dappled sun in the morning. I
have a woodland garden. It is at the base of a pine tree.
Hope this helps. I would say medium shade to little sun. They don't like sun
for very long and lord knows it gets hot in GA.

Hon sounds like it was mis-labeled at the nursery.
It should be either blue or pink depending on soil pH.
Preferably Blue for a Nikko. Sorry. Take it back.

Thanks Elaine. I just went out and checked it again (I probably look in on
it 10x a day) and the new mophead that's trying to form is turning from
whitish-green to pink. The huge mophead that's been on the plant for
months is still green though, like the way they come in as new growth,
before they get their color.

I don't mind what color it ends up being as I have both blues and pinks
but I worry that a) the uncolored bloom is a dud and should be snipped
and/or b) the plant needs more sun.

I have found websites that say Nikkos like sun to partial shade and others
that say medium shade to little sun. My other hydrangeas wilted terribly
until I moved them to primary shade but maybe this one is different?
