Common Name: Bigleaf Hydrangea
Scientific Name: Hydrangea macrophylla

Description:

Hydrangea macrophylla, commonly known as Bigleaf Hydrangea, is a deciduous shrub famous for its large, vibrant blooms. This hydrangea species features broad, dark green leaves and produces showy flower clusters in shades of blue, pink, purple, or white, depending on soil pH. It can reach a mature height of 1-2 meters and a width of 1-1.5 meters, creating a striking presence in any garden.

Growing Requirements:

Bigleaf Hydrangea prefers partial sun, especially in warm climates, with morning sun and afternoon shade being ideal. It thrives in moist, well-draining soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods. The soil pH affects bloom color, with acidic soils producing blue flowers and alkaline soils resulting in pink blooms.

Unique Features:

One of the key features of Hydrangea macrophylla is its ability to change bloom color based on soil pH. This hydrangea’s lush, rounded flowers make it a perfect choice for ornamental displays.

Uses and Display Suggestions:

Hydrangea macrophylla is ideal for garden beds, borders, and as an accent plant. It can also be used as a striking hedge or in containers for patios and entryways. Its large blooms are beautiful in fresh-cut flower arrangements.

Light requirement: Part sun/part shade

Water requirement: Medium

More info: Hydrangea macrophylla requires regular watering, especially during hot or dry weather.

The bloom color can be altered by adjusting soil pH: add aluminum sulfate for blue flowers or lime for pink blooms.

What a gorgeous tree!

My Fiddly Fig has finally decided to have it's last tantrum - nothing made it happy and all the research and care I put into it came to nothing. Of all my plants, it is the most demanding. I ordered the Banyan Tree and it's tall! The bark is a beautiful silver and the leaves are strong - it is such a healthy, majestic plant. Hopefully the fiddly fig ups its game now there's a contender for my affections in the house (but knowing the fiddly fig, it'll probably drop another leaf in protest). Thank you for such a healthy, beautiful plant, sorry, tree! :)

Happy Plant, Happy Customer

First time buyer and I was very pleased with the service and delivery. Miya was very informative and enthusiastic in letting me know how to care and manage the plant.

As it was an expensive plant I was worried they might have chosen a smaller size but that was not the case. It was big, beautiful and left a delightful impression. Love at first sight even.

I will definitely buy again!
