Tilt-A-Swirl Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'QUFU') Pollination Info:
The Tilt-A-Swirl Hydrangea is a deciduous flowering shrub that produces large, colorful blooms. Like other varieties of Hydrangea macrophylla, the Tilt-A-Swirl Hydrangea is primarily pollinated by insects, such as bees and butterflies.
