Thompson & Morgan Hydrangea Aspera Macrophylla 3.6 Litre Potted Plant x 1

Hydrangea aspera 'Macrophylla' stands out as the epitome of ornamental elegance, perfect for enhancing woodland borders and cottage garden landscapes. This deciduous shrub boasts a striking open branching habit adorned with felted leaves that provide a lush backdrop for its stunning lacecap flowers. Throughout the summer, violet florets emerge, framed by delicate pale lilac bracts, creating an enchanting display of natural beauty. Robust and resilient, this Chinese hydrangea thrives in a sunny to semi-shaded environment with protection from cold, drying winds. Its ability to flourish in any rich, fertile, and moist soil makes it adaptable to various garden settings. Whether planted directly in the ground or in patio containers with soil-based compost, such as John Innes No. 3, 'Macrophylla' is easy to establish and maintain. Water regularly until fully established and leave faded flower heads intact until spring to safeguard new buds from frost. Prune after flowering to control growth and enhance the plant's natural shape, followed by a nourishing mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around the base for optimal health and vigour.
