Hydrangea macrophylla Cotton Candy - Plant in 9cm Pot

Description

Hydrangea macrophylla are perhaps one of the best known garden plants. Originally from Japan these robust and reliable plants produce a truly stunning display in summer and autumn. Hydrangea Cotton Candy is a new variety The flowers of this very special double-flowered, bi-colour hydrangea are truly lovely. They form a beautiful colour display in your garden and borders with their yellow-green hearts and sweet pink coloured petals. They remain decorative even when they have finished flowering. This hydrangea flowers on both old and new wood which makes pruning very easy. Accentuating the showy blooms are the bold shiny bright green leaves. Very easy to grow, it can be grown in the garden or in a pot or container. In containers use a good quality John Innes compost as this plant will be there a long time and peaty types of compost eventually degrade, become too packed and choke the roots. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. John Innes is a soils based compost. A vigorous grower that will need pruning. After flowering prune back to close to the old wood. If the plant becomes too large a more drastic pruning can be undertaken!For more information please contact at gardenhelp@irgardencentre.co.uk ALL PLANTS GROWN IN OUR OWN NURSERY
