The enchanting Hydrangea: for spectacular summer blooms in your garden

Welcome to the enchanting world of the Hydrangea! This beautiful shrub has great appeal. With its lush flowers and vibrant colours, the Hydrangea is definitely an asset to your garden, patio or balcony. Find out here why Hydrangeas have such a charm.

Endless possibilities

There are different types, colours and sizes of Hydrangeas, giving you endless possibilities to shape your garden. Whether you choose the blue ball-shaped flowers of Hydrangea macrophylla Flair & Flavours® Sweet Marshmallow (mophead hydrangea), the sweet-pink lace-cap flowers of Hydrangea serrata Flair & Flavours® Cotton Candy (lace-cap hydrangea) or the beautiful white-pink flower panicles of Hydrangea paniculate Pinkachu® (panicle hydrangea), there is always a Hydrangea to suit your taste.

Real gobstoppers

Many Hydrangea varieties change colour during the season. They are like big gobstoppers: they can change colour from light pink to white, such as Hydrangea BellaRagazza® Blanchetta (smooth hydrangea). Or from lime green to red and pink in autumn, such as Hydrangea Lime Light Prime© (panicle hydrangea). In winter, they give away one last show with their spent flowers in light brown colour.  Very pretty with a layer of snow!

How lush do you want it?

The lush flowers of the Hydrangea are unprecedented. A border with this summer shrub is a spectacular sight. But every Hydrangea also stands its ground as a free-standing shrub, because of its exuberant flowering and beautiful colours.  The compact Hydrangea Fire Light Tiny Bit® will not only steal the show in your garden, but also in a pot on the terrace or balcony.

Easy to maintain

Also nice: the Hydrangea is easy to maintain. With a little sunlight, sufficient water and occasional pruning, it will be more than happy to reward you with its abundant flowers.
