Hydrangea Paniculata Wim's Red-Hydrangea in 9 cm Pot

Hydrangea paniculata are known for the sheer size and ''show'' power of their flowers. Originating in Japan, China and Taiwan, various breeding programmes have produced improved varieties. Hydrangea paniculata Wim's Red is a new introduction with amazing qualities. Strong stems of honey scented flowers emerge white, turn pink and then a dark burgundy red. Its long flowering period and multiple colour transition make this a rather special plant. Easy to grow in full sun or semi shade in most moist, fertile soils. Does not grow well in chalky soils. Hydrangea paniculata Wim's Red can be grown in the garden or in a pot or container. In containers use a good quality John Innes compost as this plant will be there a long time and peaty types of compost eventually degrade, become too packed and choke the roots. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in late spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. John Innes is a soils based compost. A vigorous grower that will need pruning. After flowering prune back to close to the old wood.
