A top choice for its stunning, abundant blooms and an extended flowering season from June to September.
Flower colour is influenced by soil pH; enjoy vibrant blue flowers in acidic soil (pH 5.5), which shift to purple or pink as the soil becomes more alkaline.
This resilient and low-maintenance hydrangea is truly delightful, thriving in both large containers and garden borders.
Its beautiful flowers are perfect for cutting, looking fantastic in bouquets with roses, peonies, or greenery.
Tolerates salt and partial shade, making it an ideal choice for coastal gardens or woodland settings.

Watering: Water your hydrangea regularly throughout its first growing season, as well as during hot, dry spells once established.
Feeding: While established plants don't typically require feeding, an initial feed with a general fertiliser can be beneficial post-planting.
Pruning: Leave spent flowerheads on over winter to protect the buds beneath. In late winter or early spring, remove the old flowerheads, cutting back to the first pair of healthy buds. On established plants, you can remove a couple of older stems from the base annually to encourage new growth.
