Oakleaf Hydrangea Snowflake

Oodles of impossibly large, densely packed white flower heads that mature to a pale pink. The heads are up to 30cm tall. Hydrangea 'Snowflake' holds its flowers well and is quite hardy to strong winds, hot sun and heavy rain. It is rather shapely with dense foliage that turns magnificent shades of purple and red in autumn.

Hydrangeas grow best planted in a sheltered position of the garden where the roots are cool and moist. Add plenty of organic matter to the soil and you will be rewarded with masses of stunning blooms.

Hydrangea flowers are good for picking. To make them last longer, bring a bucket of water out with you to the garden, plunge them in as soon as you have cut them. Once you are inside, cut them again and hold them in hot, boiled water for 30seconds before arranging in a vase.
