Hydrangea · Flower for partially shaded patios

Hydrangea macrophylla

Large leaves and showy flowers for cool, sheltered patios. A good choice for those who can provide regular moisture and a location without excessive heat.

What you receive

A young plant in a 2.5-litre nursery pot. The ceramic pot and decorative elements shown in the images are not included. The images are for guidance only; appearance and flowering vary depending on the individual plant and the season.

Care and location

• Light: Partial shade, protected from strong afternoon sun.
• Watering: Keep regularly moist without waterlogging. Check pots frequently on hot days; do not let the root ball dry out completely.
• Where to place it: Partially shaded patios, large pots, and cool borders with well-draining soil.
• Approximate mature size: A shrub that can reach 1.5–2.5 m over time, depending on the variety and growing conditions. This does not correspond to the size at delivery.
• Flowering: Spring–summer, depending on the variety, climate, and condition of the plant.

Add organic matter and prevent water from pooling at the base. Do not prune severely without knowing the variety, as it may flower on the previous year's growth.

This Hydrangea macrophylla is offered without a confirmed cultivar or specific colour. The colour and shape of the flowers depend on the batch; the images are for guidance only. It may be delivered without flowers.
