hydrangea
hydrangea £19.99
Position: partial shadeSoil: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soilRate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: June to October Flower colour: rich pinkHardiness: fully hardyA recently introduced cultivar that produces the much-loved flower clusters throughout summer and autumn, but these are carried on lustrous, near-black stems.
