The rich, dark blue centres of this dainty lacecap variety are encircled by large pale blue or pink florets, the two together showing each other off in spectacular fashion. In acidic soils, flowerheads will have the best blue tones. In more alkaline soils, the florets will develop more mauve to pink hues. Hydrangea serrata 'Bluebird' also has dramatic green-bronze leaves which turn to darker shades of red and purple during the autumn, helping to add yet further interest to your garden. Hardy enough to withstand our winter weather but compact enough to also be grown in a container, these hydrangeas are well worth adding to your garden. Height: 100cm (39"). Spread: 100cm (39").
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Water regularly until plants are fully established. Leave the faded hydrangea flower heads in place until the new buds swell in spring to protect the delicate buds from frost damage. In early spring, dead head the old flowers, cutting them back to a pair of healthy buds just below.
In late winter or early spring remove one or two of the oldest stems to the base. This will encourage the development of new, replacement shoots and keep the shrub productive.
After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant. Caution: Contact with hydrangea foliage may irritate the skin and eyes and all parts are harmful if eaten.
