Hydrangea Nightengale
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Nightengale'
Hydrangea evoke a special air of romance - they've got style and need very little attention to maintain their beautiful appearance. Nightengale's no exception; its almost flat flower head comprises a centre of tight bud and outer petals in blue. All this with compactness, freedom of flower and high health.
Feature:

Compact bush, free-flowering lacecap blue, great for picking.

Uses: Patios, gardens, borders and under-plantings. Great for picking - use in floral art.
Position: Shaded and well-drained. Will handle summer dry spells, though flowers can be damaged if too dry for too long.
Care: Prune to about half size in autumn after leaf drop, and mulch to conserve moisture over summer. Blue colouration is encouraged with acid fertiliser.
