<p>Its branching stems form a full, rounded shrub, with the flowers displayed above the foliage.</p>

Best used for

Use for summer colour in a sheltered border or generous container.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 15–30 cm per year Medium growth
Expected mature size 1–1.5 m high / 1–1.5 m wide

Expect around 15–30 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 1–1.5 m in height and 1–1.5 m in width. Allow room for a rounded shrub of branching stems; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in moisture-retentive but well-drained soil and mulch the root area. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. Apply compost or a slow-release hydrangea fertiliser once in spring; flower colour may change with soil pH. Remove faded flower heads in spring and avoid hard pruning, as next season’s buds develop on older stems.
