A classic cottage plant, Hydrangea macrophylla Pink brings an old-fashioned charm to the garden with its rounded habit, thick green leaves and pretty-as-a-picture pink mop-head flowers in summer. Hydrangeas are ideal for mass planting, containers and simply delightful as a cut flower.

Soil: Well-drained, loamy soil. The soil must be alkaline to produce continuous pink flowers. To increase alkalinity, add garden lime.
Conditions: Hydrangeas do not like hot, direct sunlight so plant with morning sunlight and partial shade in the later parts of the day.
Size: Height 1-2m x width 0.60-1m
