Large conical heads of dense florets that change from soft lime green to pink and green then deeper pinks and reds before bronzing in winter. Compact enough for a large container where the growth will be more restrained. Great for picking with lasting flowers to around 20cm.

Hydrangea ‘Graffiti’ is a more sun tolerant variety than most Hydrangeas. This makes it a lot more versatile in the garden. It is also wonderfully frost tolerant, coping with temperatures down to -20C.

PeeGee Hydrangea are very hip and happening in the world of landscapers and for good reason. They are valuable in part shade to sun positions and offer very impressive and long lasting in blooms. They have good cold tolerance as they flower on new wood so are not bothered by late season frosts.

Hydrangeas grow best when planted in a sheltered position of the garden where the roots are cool and moist. If you add plenty of organic matter to the soil and you will be rewarded with masses of stunning blooms. While more sun hardy than most Hydrangeas, they are best protected from the harsh afternoon sun. They are deciduous and can be pruned to shape once the flowering has finished.

Hydrangea flowers are good for picking. To help make the flowers last longer, bring a bucket of water out with you to the garden, plunge them in as soon as you have cut the stem. Once you are inside, cut them again (cut the stem on an angle so it has more surface area and doesn’t’ sit on the bottom of the vase) and hold the end of the stem in hot, boiled water for 30 seconds before arranging in a vase. If it starts to wilt, you can plunge it into a bath – they can rehydrate through the petals, stems and flowers.
