Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Little Hortensia’ is a compact, mophead variety renowned for its bold flower heads and reliable performance. This set brings you three established plants—one each of blue, red, and white—for instant impact in containers or garden beds.

• Blue: Cool, classic tones that brighten shaded corners.
• Red: Deep, romantic hues that stand out in any display.
• White: Fresh, crisp blossoms for a timeless look.

Why Choose 'Little Hortensia'?

• Bountiful Blooms: Each plant produces large, rounded flower heads from early summer through late summer.
• Dwarf Habit: Grows to about 60cm tall and wide—ideal for small spaces or statement pots.
• Tough & Hardy: Built to thrive in the UK climate (hardy to RHS H5), these hydrangeas return reliably each year.

Growing Guide

• Light: Prefers full sun or partial shade; avoid deep shade for best flowering.
• Soil: Moist but well-drained soil. Blue flowers remain truest in acidic conditions (pH below 6); alkaline soils may shift blue blooms toward pink.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during dry spells—especially in pots.
• Feeding: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season. Use ericaceous feed for bluer blooms if desired.
• Pruning: Remove faded blooms after flowering; prune lightly in spring to maintain shape.

Clever Planting Ideas

• Pots & Containers: Showcase on patios or balconies for instant colour.
• Borders & Beds: Combine with hostas, ferns, or Japanese maples for lush texture contrasts.
• Cottage Gardens: Mix with lavender or foxgloves for classic charm.

FAQs

• How tall and wide will they grow?
  Each plant reaches about 60cm tall and wide at maturity—perfect for compact spaces.
• Can I plant them straight away?
