Description
Producing masses of huge, conical-shaped blooms from June to October, this beautiful collection of unusual and desirable hydrangeas will make a dramatic statement in your garden. Each individual variety in this super mix makes a magnificent feature plant for beds and borders in the garden or when potted up and placed on your patio or decking area. Alternatively, plant them in a group for a stunning display. Naturally sturdy, the collection covers the widest colour range, and each is very easy to grow and maintain. They will thrive in neutral to acidic, free-draining soil in a sunny or part-shaded spot. With very large flower clusters that can reach over 30cm (12in) across, these distinctive hydrangeas will fill your summer beds, borders or patio pots with wonderful colour. Each year, strong, upright stems are produced with lush mid-green foliage, which are topped with huge, conical-shaped panicles of flowers that will quite simply take your breath away. The buds open to hyacinth-like flowers in delicate pastel shades of lime green, pink, white and burgundy, and last for weeks before flushing with delicate colour tones. If you can bear to cut them, the fresh blooms make an imposing display in a vase and the dried flowerheads can be used as a permanent decoration.
