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.

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.

Outstanding!
Probably the highest quality monstera I've purchased from an online shop. Great customer service too
It was a very nice surprise when my three very healthy Buxus plants were waiting for me early this morning. I love the range, quality and service of The Australian Plant shop and am most definitely a loyal customer as other providers don't even come close.
Prompt delivery and plants exactly as described. Happy customer.
i bought three plants and each one is literally perfectly luscious, green and healthy. ive already replanted them in my garden and cant wait to see them flourish.

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! :)
Hello I ordered some goldfish plants. I was very surprise ohow nice and grown they were. I bought the same 2 weeks ago at Power Flower and I pay ex a fly the double.
Thanks very much I will buy again
The plant I rec’d via online order was well established, healthy and rather quite stunning. More than I hoped for. Will certainly be using these guys again for those difficult to get Australian plants.
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!
The plants arrived promptly.Plenty of communication regarding delivery.Plants in great condition and great value for money.Very reasonable delivery fees .Overall very happy with the purchase.
I have placed two orders in one months! Couldn't be any happier.
My absolute favourite Azalea, a beautiful hardy plant. When in season, loves showing off its many pretty pink blooms.
I am so happy with my plants that I received. Miya went over and beyond to source these plants that I was after as they are quite rare to find. The communication was outstanding. I picked up my plants and was overwhelmed with how healthy and beautiful they were. Thank you so much I can highly recommend this nursery.
These plants are hard to find. The Australian Plant Shop delivered my plant in perfect condition. Looking forward to caring and watching this plant produce its best during early spring.
