Just imagine, an explosion of snow-white flowers in your garden all summer - from one of the newest and most desirable of the recent hydrangea introductions. This is your opportunity to get your hands on this brand-new hydrangea which was awarded the prestigious title of Plant of the Year for 2018 at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and it's easy to see why! With a unique blooming habit, 'Runaway Bride' produces snow-white flowers along the length of its branches which can take on an attractive pink tint as they age. This is a real breakthrough for hydrangeas which normally flower at the tips of shoots only. The profusion of white lace-cap blooms gives this hydrangea its common name of the 'garland hydrangea' and the flowerheads themselves create a light, airy feel - making them ideal as a centrepiece in pots and even hanging baskets - there seems to be no end to its talents! Also, and an absolute bonus in our opinion, the flower colour does not change with the pH in your soil - they're always white! This hydrangea is sure to become an exceptional garden favourite, so get yours now and become one of the first to grow it. Introduced at the premier UK flower show, Hydrangea 'Runaway Bride' was bred by world-renowned expert Ushio Sakazaki who also brought us trailing Surfinia Petunias, so this is a hydrangea with a superb pedigree. Bang on trend as cut flowers or winter displays, hydrangeas are known the world over for their heads of gorgeous flowers, they're easy to grow and a breeze to maintain, no wonder they're one of the UK's most popular flowers! Eye-catching in pots and planters on the patio or decking, the flowers dry on the plants and retain their appeal for a very long time, often until the middle of winter and you can even use the flowers in dried flower arrangements.

Bang on trend as cut flowers or winter displays, hydrangeas are known the world over for their colour-changing heads of gorgeous flowers. Easy to grow and a breeze to maintain, there's a variety suitable for everyone and 'Messelina' will thrill everyone who sees it with gorgeous lace-cap heads of pink blooms. Hydrangeas are a popular garden shrub and a particular favourite at the moment with florists where they feature in many contemporary designs of both bouquets and cut flowers. With their delicate heads of pink flowers and pretty autumn colour and leaf shape, they certainly make a statement in beds, borders and containers. Most well-known for their ability to change colour in different soils (acid soil tend to make them bluer), Messelina is very floriferous from May onwards and will bring colour to the gardens for months, allowing you to create beautiful flowering displays in the garden - you can even use the flowers in dried flower arrangements over the festive season - a truly year-round plant. Compact enough to grow in pots and planters on the patio or decking, their eye-catching flowers retain their beauty for a very long time.

'Sweet Seduction' is one of the Seduction series of mophead hydrangeas, bred in China to be naturally compact and prolifically flowering. Beautifully textured pale pink blooms with ruffled edges are borne on large, extravagant flower heads carried on strong stems from June to October, a stunning sight and as summer passes they gradually change colour to purple tinted with green. The foliage is mid-green and heavily toothed, adding yet more texture to this already wonderfully tactile shrub, and autumn turns the leaves to a soft, creamy yellow. Seduction hydrangeas are ideal for growing in large pots and make spectacular feature plants on patios, terraces and balconies, and they're also magnificent in borders, where they're large enough to make and impact but won't take over. The large flower heads consist of sterile coloured bracts which look like flowers and make fantastic cut flowers for both summer colour and dried winter arrangements. Also, they can be left on the plant during the winter, where they'll make a home for overwintering insects and look great during frosty weather. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting, growing to a height and spread of 1.5m (5ft).
