Hydrangea
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010Hydrangea at Thompson & Morgan! These are a stunning plant for the garden and well worth adding one or two to your garden. They have really impressive blooms that are made up of lots of individual flowers all in one ball flower head. They’re pretty and make stunning cut flowers. Put one each in a tall narrow vase or arrange a large vase full of them.
We’ve included the ericaceous plant feeds that ensure they grow really well. Traditional hyrangeas show a colour change according to the soil type they’re in and it’s believed that planting nails under the plant will ensure you get blue flowers. Hyrangeas are stunning plants and will provide you with tons of cut flowers or if you prefer to keep them outside they make an impressive display for months on end in the garden. You can cut off the blooms as they die back and give the plant a light trim.
