A FAVOURITE - Hydrangea macrophylla is one of the best hydrangeas available for UK gardens. This stunning pink hydrangea offers a long season of interest and is ideal for adding a splash of colour. It can be used as a standalone garden feature on a patio or balcony, for planting at the front of a border or for lining the edges of a path. GROWING CONDITIONS - Grow Hydrangea macrophylla in moist but well draining soil in full sun to partial shade, sheltering from cold, drying winds. Hydrangeas like to be kept well watered but don’t like to be sitting in water logged soil. Due to their environmental conditions, blue and pink hydrangeas can change colour depending on the acidity level of the soil they are planted in. FLOWERS - Hydrangeas can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden. When cutting to use in a vase, cut straight across the stem when removing from the plant. Then cut the flower stem at a sharp angle for displaying as this allows the plant to absorb more water in the vase.LARGE PLANT - This listing is for a plant grown in a 5 litre pot ready to be planted in a patio pot or garden border. Please note that Hydrangeas are cut back from November to April, therefore their image may be different from the one shown in the pictures and may not come with flowers depending on the time of year.
