Bring Your Garden to Life with Hydrangea macrophylla

Fill your beds, borders, or containers with spectacular colour using this set of Hydrangea macrophylla – classic flowering shrubs loved for their globe-shaped blooms and lush foliage. Each set includes six garden-ready plants in three vibrant colours, ranging in height from 25–40cm including the nursery pot (pot diameter 10.5cm).

Why Choose Hydrangea macrophylla?

• Grown for their bold, multi-hued flower heads which create striking summer displays from mid-June to September.
• Hardy, deciduous shrubs well-suited to UK gardens and adaptable to borders, shady spots, or large containers.
• Choose moist, well-drained soil – they thrive where roots stay cool and evenly watered.
• Blooms range in white, blue, purple, pink, and deep red, with colour intensity influenced by soil pH (acidic soil for blue hues, neutral to alkaline for pink/red shades).

Easy Care Guide

• Watering: Deeply soak the soil during dry spells in spring and summer—Hydrangeas are not drought-tolerant and may show yellow leaves if parched.
• Pruning: Prune back spent flower heads in March, after frosts, to encourage robust new growth and maximise future blooms. Leave old blooms in place over winter to shelter new buds from frost and wind.
• Fertiliser: Use a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring. For more vibrant blue or purple blooms, try an ericaceous (acid-loving) feed as needed.
• Light: Prefers partial shade but will tolerate morning sun. Too much strong sun can slow growth or bleach out flower colour.
• Soil: Moist but well-draining, with a preference for organic-rich beds or potting mixes.

Design Ideas & Companion Plants

• Use in mixed shrub borders for all-summer impact, alongside ferns, hostas, or shade-loving perennials.
• Perfect for establishing a cottage garden feel or as container centrepieces on a shaded patio.
• Layer with evergreen shrubs to add winter structure behind your Hydrangeas.

FAQs

• When is the best time to plant my Hydrangeas?
  Plant in spring or early autumn to allow roots to establish before peak growing season.
• How quickly do these Hydrangeas grow?
  Expect moderate annual growth – plants typically gain 20–40cm height per year when cared for well.
• What type of soil do they need?
  Hydrangeas prefer moist, well-drained, humus-rich soils. Acidic soils promote blue flowers, while alkaline soils encourage pink/red hues.
