Product description
Hydrangea Macrophylla Trees produce lovely coloured flowers during flourishing season and build a compact and structured stem for protection over harsh weather periods. Choose between four vibrant Summer colours to light up & decorate the outdoors. Perfect to plant in small gardens, flower borders & patios.
These brilliant trees will thrive in full sun or partial shade, planted in a moist soil that is well-drained. Avoid dry soil or cover the soil with a layer of organic mulch to retain moisture. fertilisers are not necessarily required if the soil is organically healthy.
Take care while pruning Hydrangea during Spring, remove dead wood only once the new growth has emerged. Deadheading the faded flowers regularly will encourage repeat blooms. Plant them in a sheltered spot protecting from cold winds that can damage the flower buds.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune Hydrangeas in late winter or early spring, removing dead or weak stems and trimming back last year’s growth to healthy buds. For mophead and lacecap varieties, avoid cutting stems too short, as flowers develop on old wood. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to encourage lush blooms, and consider soil amendments such as ericaceous compost to maintain optimal soil conditions for specific varieties.
How to Water
Water Hydrangeas deeply after planting and consistently during their first year to help establish roots. Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells, as Hydrangeas thrive in moisture-retentive conditions. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation, focusing on the root zone rather than the leaves to prevent fungal issues. Use rainwater if possible, as some varieties may change flower colour based on soil pH.
How to Plant
To plant Hydrangeas, select a partially shaded spot with rich, well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth, allowing the roots to spread easily. Soak the root ball thoroughly before planting, then place the plant in the hole and backfill with soil, firming gently. Water deeply to help settle the soil. Add a 5–10 cm layer of organic mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, ensuring it is kept clear of the base of the plant. Space Hydrangeas 100–150 cm apart to allow for healthy growth and airflow.
