Hydrangea 'Living Little Apple'Hydrangea paniculata

With its fresh, green blooms that evolve throughout the season, Hydrangea Living Little Apple brings over 100 days of stunning colour to shady borders! The large, conical flower-heads begin as a crisp apple-green in July, gradually shifting to softer, lighter shades throughout August and September, finally finishing the season with a delicate, creamy green. This ever-changing display offers a vibrant, long-lasting visual interest that lights up even the darkest corners of the garden. Part of the Living Creations collection, Hydrangea Living Little Apple is developed by a renowned family-run nursery in the Netherlands, known for generations of expertise in cultivating the best hydrangeas. These plants are exceptionally vigorous, hardy, and feature stronger stems, a broad range of colours, and an extended bloom period. They are also remarkably easy to maintain, thriving in even the harshest winters and reliably flowering year after year. Perfect for those tricky shaded areas of the garden, Living Little Apple is ideal for north-facing borders, dull patio corners, or spots overshadowed by trees and hedges. More drought-tolerant than mophead hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla), it thrives in woodland-style borders and large pots or planters in shaded spots. Its strong, well-branched framework supports large, long-lasting panicles, offering a continuous show of colour from July through September. Once established, these hydrangeas are incredibly low-maintenance—just prune them back to a low framework each spring, and they’ll reward you with beautiful blooms year after year. Hydrangea Living Little Apple is a perfect way to transform a dull, shaded corner into a vibrant and charming feature of your garden. Height: 60cm (24in). Spread: 70cm (28in).

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.
