Hydrangea macrophylla Shakira - Hydrangea - Plant in 10.5 cm Pot

These are second year plants that are very well established. They have multiple shoots and can be planted out or repotted soon after receipt, or held in the pot they arrive in until spring.

 Hydrangea macrophylla are perhaps one of the best known garden plants. Originally from Japan these robust and reliable plants produce a truly stunning display in summer and autumn. Hydrangea macrophylla Shakira is a recently introduced variety, bred in Holland. It is a compact variety that is wider than it is tall when mature. Ideal for the small garden or patio. Abundant rounded flower heads of white are produced from mid summer until the first frosts. They form a beautiful display in your garden borders or patio and remain decorative even when they have finished flowering. Accentuating the showy blooms are the bold shiny bright green leaves. Shakira is possibly one of the best white mophead Hydrangeas. Very easy to grow, it can be grown in the garden or in a pot or container. In containers use a good quality compost. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year.
