About this product
Hydrangea paniculata Mix, supplied in a 5 litre pot.
Plant Highlights: A mixed selection of panicle hydrangeas • Large, long-lasting summer flowers • Reliable deciduous shrub for Irish gardens • Excellent for borders and fresh or dried flower arrangements.
Overview
This mixed collection of Hydrangea paniculata contains a selection of cultivars, which may include 'Candlelight', 'Grandiflora', 'Limelight', 'Silver Dollar', 'Sundae Fraise' and 'Wim's Red'. As this is a mixed product, the exact cultivar received will vary.
All selections belong to the hardy panicle hydrangea group, valued for their large cone-shaped flower heads that appear from summer into autumn. Flower colour, mature size and autumn colouring differ between cultivars, so these should be regarded as a pleasant surprise rather than a guaranteed feature.

Growing Guide
Plant in a sunny or lightly shaded position with moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. While established plants are reasonably tolerant of short dry spells, they perform best with consistent moisture during prolonged dry weather, particularly in containers or newly planted borders.
Panicle hydrangeas flower on new season's growth, making them dependable performers even after cold winters. Apply a mulch in spring to help conserve soil moisture and feed with a balanced fertiliser if required.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead or weak stems and shorten the previous year's growth to maintain a strong framework and encourage large flower heads.
