Hydrangea macrophylla Miss Saori

Another member of the new Hydrangea ‘You and Me’ series, this exceptional new plant was the worthy winner of the Chelsea Flower Show plant of the year in 2014. Unique fully double flowers of white with a soft rosy edging are produced from June onwards, the young foliage has hues of burgiundy contrasting with the flowers, and turns to similar hues in Autumn. An outstanding and compact Hydrangea that makes a great specimen for beds and borders, containers of as a delightful informal flowering hedge.

Hydrangea macrophylla Miss Saori 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.
