Imagine, the perfect plant to attract attention to your garden, and deserving pride of place where it can shine throughout the year. This addition to the popular 'Annabelle' series of hydrangeas has the same dramatic flowerheads but with an added bonus - gorgeous, colour-changing, pink blossom. As the buds emerge the backs of the petals are a rich shade of raspberry, so when young, the overall impression is of quite a strong pink. Then, as the buds open, they reveal a lighter upper surface, giving an overall softer shade when the flowers have opened fully. Over the course of the summer the colour becomes even paler, and eventually the big heads take on a subtle, greenish tone. The show doesn't stop there though as after the flowers have faded and fallen, a skeleton of fine filigree remains to catch the frost and sparkle in the low winter sunshine - adding to its year-round interest. Really easy to grow and a great plant for a newbie gardener, 'Sweet Annabelle' blooms on new wood, unlike older varieties which only bloom on the old, so you'll continue to bloom year on year, all throughout the summer, regardless of pruning or extreme weather. An invaluable addition to the mixed or shrub border - as well as a large patio pot - this is a hydrangea that you don't want to be without. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot.
Hydrangea 'Incrediball', the Tree Hydrangea (also known as Strong Annabelle), produces amazing and enormous colour-changing blooms that change from Lime Green to Pure White then fade to Green again, to make the most amazing displays in your garden and your home. It is unbelievable, but true! This is an entirely different species and variety than the traditional pink and blue plants you are probably more familiar with. The stems are incredibly strong to enable the support for this amazing flower, and they are tolerant of rain and wind hence the name, 'Incrediball'!! Also known as 'Strong Annabelle', this has been bred to supersede Hydrangea 'Annabelle', which suffered from weaker stems in wind and rain. Displays will be all summer long whatever the weather and will produce flowers to up to 30cm or 12 inches in diameter. They can be cut and used as dried flowers too - this will preserve the natural colouration or spray them gold or silver for spectacular Christmas decorations. The Tree hydrangea is a form of Hydrangea that is quick-growing, forming an upright shrub. Unlike the bushy hydrangeas, these shrubs provide later blooms for added garden colour. Growing as a shrub with multiple stems, tree hydrangeas can be pruned to look like trees, hence their name. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, for real Summer impact in your garden, the Tree Hydrangea 'Incrediball' is a winner.
Blooming for up to 6 months of the year, Hydrangea paniculata Switch Ophelia (R) is a delightful hydrangea that will change colour through the year.

Coming into flower from late May and lasting well into October the faded flowers can remain on the plant right through the winter bringing extended interest across the seasons. The delicate blooms emerge green-white and take on a pink hue as they age, becoming pinker as the seasons progress. Easy to grow and hardy right down to -25°C, this is a hydrangea suitable for anyone to grow and it will even double as a houseplant for the spring - just remember that ultimately it prefers to be outside. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready for immediate planting.
