Perfect for brightening up pots or borders, these easy-to-grow shrubs reward with showy blooms year after year. There are so many varieties to choose from and we love the pretty array of colours including pinks, purples and blues. Hydrangeas enjoy the warm morning sun but dislike the heat of the afternoon so will prefer a sheltered location with sunny mornings and shady afternoons. As the name “hydra” suggests, they are thirsty plants and will need regular watering to thrive.
