Get Growing in Your Garden with Hydrangeas
Few plants make as big an impact in the garden as hydrangeas. With their huge, showy blooms and impressive presence, they bring colour, structure, and long-lasting interest to any outdoor space. Whether planted in borders, pots, or as standalone statement pieces, hydrangeas are a must-have for gardeners who love reliable, easy-care beauty.
A Hydrangea for Every Garden
One of the best things about hydrangeas is their incredible variety. Classic mophead hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla) feature large, rounded flowerheads in shades of pink, blue, and white, changing colour depending on soil pH. Their cousins, the lacecap hydrangeas, have flatter, more delicate blooms that attract pollinators. For those looking to add height and drama, Hydrangea paniculata is the go-to choice, with conical flowerheads that bloom later in summer and hold their structure beautifully into autumn.
Why Grow Hydrangeas?
Hydrangeas are among the most rewarding plants to grow, offering a long flowering season, versatility, low maintenance, ever-changing colour, and are pollinator friendly.
Growing and Caring for Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas thrive in moist, well-drained soil and prefer a spot with dappled sunlight or morning sun with afternoon shade. They are hardy and reliable, requiring little maintenance beyond watering in dry spells and occasional pruning to keep them in shape. Feeding with a specialist hydrangea fertiliser in spring and summer encourages stronger growth and more abundant blooms.
