Product description
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Alpenglühen' is a deciduous shrub that will bring an eye-catching burst of colour into the garden. The bright pink shade on the outer section of the plants flowers is extraordinary, whilst the yellow centre ensures a neat offset between the two shades. The backdrop of dark green foliage ensures that the Spring and Summer blooms standout in any pot, container, patio or plant display. Plant Hydrangea in moist, well-drained soil and place it in full sunlight. Full sunlight means watering should be done when the soil is dry to touch, whilst dappled shade allows it to take place as the plant establishes itself.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Protect hydrangeas in winter by adding a thick layer of mulch around the base to insulate the roots. In colder climates, cover the plant with burlap or a frost blanket to shield it from freezing temperatures and harsh winds.
How to Water
Water hydrangeas deeply, keeping the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues. Water at the base early in the morning or late in the evening, and mulch to help retain moisture.
How to Plant
Choose a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, and well-draining, moist soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the plant, backfill with soil, firm gently, and water well. Mulch around the base to retain moisture.
