AVAILABLE WEEK COMMENCING 2nd September 2024

Winner of the prestigous Best New Plant at the HTA awards. Hydrangea Macrophylla "Deep Purple Dance" 5 Litre. The deep purple coloured flowers, the long flowering period and the balanced growth make this hydrangea truly special. It would be a wonderful addition to any terrace planted in a pot or any garden in a border. 

What to expect: Your gold medal winning Hydrangea Deep Purple will arrive planted in a large 5 Litre Pot/23cm pot. It will depending on the time of the year purchased have an actual plant size of approximately 50cm with 7 to 8 flower heads 

Planting position: Best planted in a lightly shaded warm spot, never close to a tree. Tree roots are the dominant force and will deprive your hydrangea of the nutrition it needs

Suitable for container planting: Yes a great choice

Position: Full sun through to partial shade.

Soil: Happy in all soil types excluding heavy clay

Eventual Height at maturity: Approximately 80cm Flowering Period: July through to late September

Winter Hardy: Yes for the whole UK, copes well with rain, wind and moderate to Frost. Severe frosts will not be fatal it may damage the buds this will almost certainly result in smaller flowers, whilst this isnt relevant to plants that are going to live in the south it may be advisable to wrap in a winter fleece in the colder parts of the Uk.

Evergreen: No Deciduous

Pruning: Cut your Hydrangea back to a strong pair of buds in early spring after the frosts have cleared, can be cut earlier if you have planted in a pot and can bring it inside to escape the worse of the winter weather.

Hydrangea plants do not like having dry roots. The plant needs watering regularly, both in a pot and in the soil during warm periods. You should thereby try as much as possible to keep the flowers dry. If pot planted we would recommend you stand your pot on water dish and water from the base. Do not allow to dry out.

When should I prune back my Hydrangea:

We suggest waiting until Febrary/March when the frosts have gone.    The dead flower heads will protect the plant over the winter months.    When the frosts have finished cut it back by approximately a quarter and remove any weak or frost damaged shoots to the healthy wood.
