Plant description

First discovered by a nursery worker at Bailey Nurseries in Minnesota, USA, these were hailed by the renowned American horticulturalist, Dr. Michael Dirr as “a horticultural miracle” in his book 'Hydrangeas for American Gardens'. What sets them apart from other hydrangeas is that the Endless Summer range can flower on both new and old wood. That means you can enjoy the big clusters of white to pink-flushed flowers from June to October. A fabulous, long flowering addition to the garden, they will also make a great informal hedge.

How to care for Hydrangea macrophylla Blushing Bride:

Leave the old flower heads in place through the winter. As the new shoots start to emerge in spring cut back a third to a quarter of the previous season's flowering stems to the base and cut back the remaining flower heads to the first pair of buds.

Please note:

This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

Warning

Humans: Skin allergen; Pets: Harmful if eaten
