The amazing Hydrangea that everyone is talking about!! Forget those dull seaside displays of blues and pinks, 'Miss Saori' is something different. And this was recognised when it won the Best Plant 2014 at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Such has been the popularity of this stunning hydrangea that plants remains scarce, although we have once again secured stock of these sought-after beauties for our customers this year. So what is all the fuss about? Well, each flower is fully double, which is unusual for Hydrangeas. To top this, each petal looks sugar-coated with lipstick-pink edging, fading subtly to the centre, creating a wonderful effect when the huge flowerhead is seen. Bred in Japan by the world's premier Hydrangea hybridiser, 'Miss Saori' also repeat flowers, as it flowers on both young and old wood - this removes many of the conundrums of pruning, making it easier to manage, and longer flowering than conventional types. As if this was not enough, as cooler autumn approaches, and the final flowers blossom, the leaves turn burgundy purple, presenting the perfect foil for the flowers. Be one of the very few who can grow this so early in it's life, it is set to be an exceptionally successful variety. Supplied as 3 x establoshed plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant out now.
Brand new and totally stunning! This Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year winner for 2014 is a must for all hydrangea lovers. Boasting huge flower heads of double white blooms, upon which every petal features a soft, cerise margin, that delicately blends in from the edges. Even the foliage puts on a show, exhibiting tones of burgundy during the coolness of spring and autumn! A superb feature plant in a large patio container, and great for cutting to enjoy the flowers indoors. 'Miss Saori' is one of the first of a new type of Hydrangea which isn’t affected by soil type. So all flowers will stay pink, as seen, whether you plant in neutral, acidic or alkaline soils. Ht. 100cm. Supplied in 9cm pot.
