A Guide to Hydrangea

Hydrangea: One of Our Best Sellers!

Hydrangeas are a fantastic addition to any garden, whether in pots or borders, thanks to their versatility and long-lasting blooms. These lovely plants are happy in both sun and shade, making them an excellent choice for a variety of garden settings.

For those with blue Hydrangeas, remember to plant them in ericaceous soil or lime-free compost to maintain that gorgeous blue colour. All other Hydrangeas will thrive in general-purpose compost, giving you beautiful blooms without much fuss.

A key thing to note: the name says it all – “Hydra” means water! Hydrangeas love plenty of it, so don’t let them dry out too much. Given the right care, they can grow up to 3 feet tall and will flower all summer long, adding stunning colour to your garden.

Whether you’re buying for yourself or as a gift for the green thumb in your life, Hydrangeas are a wonderful choice. Pop into our store and let our experts help you pick the perfect one!
