Lacecap Hydrangea with beautiful blue flowers.

This wonderful, compact shrub bears flowers with dark blue centres and pale blue florets throughout the summer months.

Foliage starts an attractive bronze green colour and in the Autumn months takes on spectacular shades of red and purple.

A compact form of Hydrangea ideal for growing in pots and containers. We recommend growing in an ericaceous compost to retain the blue flower colour as plants grown in alkaline soil are likely to bear pink flowers.

This variety has been granted the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding garden performance.

Supplied as 1 x 3ltr shrub

What This Plant Brings to Your Garden

An RHS award winner

Holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, recognising reliable garden performance over many seasons of trials.

Bee friendly lacecap flowers

Open lacecap heads keep their fertile central florets, so bees and hoverflies can actually reach the pollen that mophead types hide away.

Fiery autumn foliage

Bronze tinted young leaves deepen to rich reds and purples in autumn, giving a second season of colour after the flowers fade.

About This Plant

Hydrangea serrata grows wild in the cool mountain woodland of Japan and Korea, and Bluebird inherits that tougher constitution, shrugging off late frosts that catch its macrophylla cousins. Flower colour follows your soil chemistry, holding sea blue on acid ground and drifting towards lilac pink where lime creeps in.

Care is light. Water in dry spells, mulch each spring with leaf mould or ericaceous compost, and restrict pruning to removing spent heads and the odd weak stem in spring, since next year's buds form on the old wood. In a pot, rainwater keeps the blues true in hard water areas.
