As with all hydrangeas, the acid levels in the soil will affect the flower colour (acidic soil = blue, alkaline soil = pink). This variety naturally leans towards soft pink tones.

Can be grown in pots or planted directly in the ground.

Prefers semi-shade to shade, and moist soil.

Foliage will often develop purple hues later in the growing season.

Deciduous.

A profusion of small lacecap flower heads in Summer and Autumn.

Height and width: approx 1 to 1.5 metres.

Important Information

The acid levels in the soil will greatly determine the flower colour of this hydrangea variety.

Acidic soils bring out the blues, lilacs and purples.

Neutral soils bring out the reds and pinks.

Alkaline soils bring out reds and burgundy centres.

To increase acid levels in your soil you can add aluminum sulphate and this brings out the intense blues of the variety, and for the pinks and reds please add lime.

This need to be done before blooms form.

Or you can just simply plant them straight into the soil and just let the natural soil pH levels determine colours.
