This vigorous climber is we suited to shady spots. It still puts on a show with greenish-white flower bracts in summer.
Please note these plants are deciduous, so the leaves turn yellow and drop in autumn/winter and regrow in spring.
Best space & place
Best grown in partial shade in a moist but well-drained soil enriched with well-rotted organic matter.
When to water & feed
Hydrangea need to stay slightly moist and will wilt in the heat of the summer if allowed to dry out.
Need to know
Plants planted up walls are often in a 'rain shadow', which means that they don't get soaked when it does rain, so keep plants well watered during hot spells in summer.
Decorative pot not included, but available to buy here. The plant will be delivered in a plastic nursery pot.
For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.
For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.
Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
