Add a dazzling dash of colour to your garden with this ‘massive’ powder blue hydrangea plant that’s currently on offer for half its normal price thanks to this gardening deal
Hydrangeas are beautiful plants that sprout up everywhere in the summer season. They earn pride of place in gardens thanks to their large size and vibrant colours, which transform any outside space into a floral display. A monster of a plant, as they can be expected to throw out up to 30 strong flower heads during their first flowering season in your garden. A wonderful Hydrangea variety with huge flowers, often found in high-class florist bouquets, it has really massive blooms that elevate any garden, border or patio.
And right now, green-thumbed shoppers can get their hands on a delicate and stunning pastel blue specimen for half its normal price, as it plummets all the way down to £19.99 in this Gardening Express sale.

Hydrangeas offer masses of healthy growth each year and quickly establish, producing massive, bright flower clusters even when planted in a dull, shady spot. This makes them a great choice for sprucing up any area, whether you’d like to brighten a boring border or create a vibrant and eye-catching centrepiece in your backyard.
This large-flowered mop-head variety has huge powder blue blooms, up to the size of a football when fully established. These blooms literally cover the plant all summer before fading to an attractive purple-burgundy shade during the autumn season. On heavily alkaline soils, the blooms will turn from Blue to pink and can even be pale lavender mauve somewhere between the two, depending on the soil pH.
These are larger plants and great value for a specimen of such size and age. For best results season after season, it’s recommended that you cut this plant near ground level over winter each year so you can watch it throw up masses of strong new stems and big blooms each summer.
These plants are very strong and ready to grow away with vigour, no matter where you plant them. The special Hydrangeas are guaranteed chunky, healthy plants that will flower well all summer and into early Autumn, so you can enjoy the array of colour in your outdoor area for nearly half of the year.
Looking beautiful in summer, these are supplied as fully-established XXXL plants in approx 10 litre containers that are ready to simply be planted and left alone. Sit back and relax and watch as these huge plants transform flower beds, borders or patio planters with their generous size, high yield of flowers and bold colours.
