Hydrangea Mophead
Hydrangea macrophylla Nikko Blue
This is a universally popular shrub which bears masses of coral blue flowers which clothe the plant between July and August, making it ideal for adding colour and interest to your garden in late summer when the shrub border is often short of flowers. It is attractive to wildlife including bees, butterflies and birds. It must be kept well watered during periods of dry weather and we’d recommend providing some protection from heavy winter frosts.
