Growing Sweet Cupcake Hydrangeas

The Flair & Flavours range are tough, small shrubs that do well in containers. As Reblooming Hydrangeas, they flower on new and old wood.

These hardy Hydrangeas like it cool and moist, so a bit of shade and shelter are preferable to an open sunny situation that tends to get dry in summer, because too much sun and wind tends to damage the foliage.

Rich, well drained soil that has been improved with plenty of compost will hold the moisture and nutrients that hydrangeas love.

Prune out older wood on mature plants in Autumn or late Winter to make way for new growth.

The soil pH can affect the availability of aluminium in the soil, which affects the colour of the flowers.
Acidic soil, which is high in available aluminium, turns flowers blue, and lime or alkaline conditions turn them pink (by making the aluminium unavailable).

In Your Garden Design

Pair with salvia Hot Lips and startling coloured penstemon for impact. Being tall and compact they can cast shade over other plants so go for other shade-friendly plants in front of them such as digitalis or heuchera. Our herbaceous collections make natural partners for these, especially our pretty pinks and lovely regal whites.
