Big blooms. Bold colour. And a whole lot of summer charm.

These cottage garden classics are reliable, beautiful and come back bigger and better every year. Whether you love soft pastels or punchy brights, there’s a hydrangea for every taste (and every garden).

What we love about them

Hydrangeas are all about impact. Their big, cloud-like flower heads look stunning in borders, pots or even as cut flowers indoors. You’ll spot them in shades of pink, blue, white and even lime green – and the colour of some varieties can actually change depending on your soil (more on that below!).

They flower right through summer into early autumn, making them a brilliant choice if your garden needs a mid-season lift.

Top tips for happy hydrangeas

  • Plant in sun or light shade – most hydrangeas like a bit of shelter from the hottest midday sun. Morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal.
  • Keep them watered – especially in pots or during dry spells. Their name comes from “hydra” for a reason!
  • Prune in springjust remove dead flower heads and tidy up old stems. They don’t need much fuss.
  • Want bluer blooms? Acidic soil encourages blue flowers, while alkaline soil gives you pink. You can even buy hydrangea colour feed to help with the switch.
