Hydrangea macr. Blue
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Blue’ is a deciduous mophead hydrangea valued for its large summer flowerheads and reliable garden performance. Best in sun or partial shade with shelter from hot midday sun, it prefers moist, fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil; flower colour is influenced by soil pH (typically bluer in acidic conditions and pinker in alkaline). Reaching around 90–180 cm in height and spread, it suits mixed borders, containers, and cutting or drying for arrangements.
