Description

An outstanding Hydrangea with satisfying white-to-green flowerheads, which open and remain impressive across the summer months.

Green buds subtly unveil double white flowers, perched on top of healthy, oak-leaved foliage. These flowers appear so closely packed with florets that they form an almost ‘spongey’ texture to the touch, and remain picturesque even into autumn.

Also known as the ‘Oakleaf Hydrangea’, the green leaves of this hardy herbaceous perennial transform in autumn, as they darken to bronze, with red hues, before falling at the start of winter.

The long stems of the florets last very well in a vase, making this variety perfect for cutting and placing on the windowsill or mantlepiece – so make sure to plant plenty to share with family and friends!

Differing from many other varieties, once this plant has established, it becomes tolerant to drought conditions. For best results, make sure to grow in moist and well-drained soil, in either a sunny or partially shaded spot.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready to plant out.

Top Tips

Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.

Care Information

Planting Advice for Your Hydrangea:

  • Really low maintenance, this variety prefers compost-enriched soil that stays moist. It can be planted in sun or light shade, and will withstand drought once established.
  • Shrub roots generally tend to spread out rather than down, so dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill one the shrub is in place. Use the best compost you can buy and some sand or grit for drainage.
  • Before planting, soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain. Then remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot.
  • Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling) and firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball, then water well.
  • Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.
  • If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
