Hydrangea Love (You and Me)

This is a super and compact little mophead, one of the ‘You and Me’ series of new compact and floriferous Hydrangea. Large heads of rosette shaped double pink flowers during the Summer months, this is one of the newer varieties with the potential to flower on both old and new wood meaning more flowers over a longer period. Great potential for many uses in the garden and in containers, or as a compact informal hedge.

Hydrangea macrophylla Love is easy to grow in sun or partial shade, they prefer a rich moisture retaining soil that doesnt dry out too much in Summer, thinnner and lighter soils would benefit from a good amount of organic matter being well mixed in the hole at planting time and these glorious shrubs enjoy a good mulch being applied during Spring to get the best from them, this is especially the case for younger plants. Prune the old flower heads off in spring, reducing the plants back to a strong bud and removing any weak or crossing stems. We recommend adding Rootgrow when planting all Hydrangeas to give them the best start.
