Product description
Also known as “Taube”, the “Teller Pink” is a wonderful addition to any garden with its highly decorative flowers. Similar to the “Teller Blue”, this varietal has large, lacecap flowers, with a centre of fertile florets, surrounded by more decorative, sterile flowers. These exterior flowers will be a vibrant shade of pink depending on the alkalinity of the soil.
Although they can do well in sunny areas, but prefer partially shaded areas. Like most Hydrangeas, they need moist, well-draining soils. So, any areas where they are used, they should be kept well-hydrated, but allowed to breath. Mulch is especially recommended in order to keep the necessary moisture levels.
For colder weather concerns, these plants do well in all areas in the UK and can easily tolerate harsh temperatures down to -10°C. If below this, they should be better protected, especially strong and dry winter winds.
This plant is salt tolerant and works very well in partially shaded areas for landscaping. The overall rounded and compact features of the plant, along with the beautiful flower arrangements lend themselves well to being a part of mixed flowerbeds or as feature plants in a bed or container.
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.
