Generous domes of tightly packed blooms from June through to September. Hydrangea macrophylla 'Ankong Blue' will create a stunning display either in open ground or in a large container, with strong stems perfect as a cut flower adding glamour inside your home too. Buds emerge with hints of creamy white to them which shifts to pale yellow as blooms mature, adding marvellous contrast to the sky blue shades. Hydrangeas are woodland plants, with macrophylla being native to East Asia. Also known as Hortensia this variety is a large, rounded, deciduous shrub with dark green oval leaves up to 20cm long. Despite their fecund appearance, the larger flowers are actually sterile preferring to put all their energy into looking beautiful. Plant Hydrangea macrophylla 'Ankong Blue' in moist, well-drained soil with an acid or neutral pH to retain the blue colour to the petals. Position in full sun to partial shade in any aspect and your hardy (H5) deciduous shrub will reach a height and spread of 1m.
