With their fabulous late summer colour and long-lasting flowers, hydrangeas are great value shrubs. They can be grown in difficult spots, such as shade, and are ideal in the dappled light under trees. There are also varieties suitable for growing in a pot.
If you don’t have acid soil and want a blue hydrangea, you can feed it with hydrangea colourant or another product that adds aluminium sulphate to the soil, or put one in a container filled with ericaceous compost.
For the earliest flowers, choose a hydrangea from the ‘Endless Summer’ range. These hydrangeas have their first blooms in May and keep flowering until September. Other hydrangeas that will flower from May are ‘Ruby Slippers’, ‘Jet Stream’ and ‘Hot Chocolate’, while the dwarf Hydrangea ‘Tabletop’ can bloom as early as April.
The oak-leaved hydrangeas – H. quercifolia – varieties have some of the best autumn colours. ‘Ruby Slippers’ has pink flowers, and ‘Snow Queen’ has white blooms. The flowers on ‘Jetstream’ open white and age to pink.
Hydrangea ‘Tabletop’ is a naturally compact variety that is ideal for a table centrepiece. ‘Hydrantea’ is another good choice – and its leaves can also be used to make tea. ‘Sweet Cupcake’ is a reblooming hydrangea that flowers on both old and new wood. ‘Little Lime’ is a compact hydrangea that will also cope with north-facing spots.
