Developed by a family-run nursery in the Netherlands, the Living Creations collection represents the pinnacle of hydrangea breeding, offering the world's finest Hydrangeas. These exceptional plants are not only beautiful but also incredibly hardy, with stronger stems, a broad range of colours, and an extended flowering period. They’re easy to maintain, endure harsh winters, and reward you with weeks of blooms every summer. Perfect for those tricky, shady spots in your garden, Hydrangea Living Colourful Cocktail thrives in areas that lack direct sunlight—whether it's a north-facing border, a dark corner of your patio, or a shaded spot along a fence or wall.

Once established, it's low-maintenance—simply prune back to a low framework each spring, and it will continue to thrive year after year. Height and spread: 1m (39in). Perfect for transforming a dull corner into a lush, vibrant woodland retreat!

Growing Information

Hydrangea paniculata prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any non alkaline, fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply.
