Perfect for hydrangea lovers with limited outdoor space, such as patios, terraces, and balconies.
This compact variety features striking blue flowers against a backdrop of lush green leaves.
Excellent for growing in containers; use slightly acidic compost for the most vibrant blue colour.
A surprisingly resilient and fully hardy shrub with strong flower stems that can even withstand salty coastal air.
Tip: Create a beautiful display by planting in a woodland-style garden with hostas, ferns, astilbes, and heucheras.

Species: Hydrangea
Flower Colour: Bright blue blooms emerge in summer.
Foliage Colour: Green
Flowering Season: Summer
Flowering Time: July, August, September
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Hardiness: H5 - Cold hardy down to temperatures of -15°C.
Soil Type: Grows nicely in most soils provided drainage is good and some moisture is retained.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 0.5-0.75 metres.
Habit: An elegant little shrub with a compact, bushy habit.
Special Features: Great for cut flowers, Easy to grow, Fully hardy
Pest & Disease Resistance: While generally healthy, hydrangeas can be affected by aphids, scale insects, leaf spot and mildews.

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Spacing: Plant half a metre apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water your hydrangea regularly throughout its first growing season, as well as during hot, dry spells once established.
Feeding: While established hydrangea plants don't typically require feeding, an initial feed with general fertiliser can be beneficial post-planting.
Pruning: Rather than deadheading the blooms once they're spent, leave them on to help protect the buds beneath during the cold winter months. Then in late winter or early spring, you can remove the flowerheads, cutting back to the first pair of healthy buds beneath. For established plants, you can consider removing a couple of older stems from the base annually to encourage newer growth.
