A relatively recent addition to the Hydrangea family, Hydrangea serrata ‘Cotton Candy’ stands out by producing flowers on both new and old growth. This compact, hardy shrub thrives in both garden beds and patio pots. The semi-double pink blooms emerge in neutral to alkaline soil, while acidic soil encourages blue flowers. These stunning blossoms are also ideal for cut flowers, known for their exceptional longevity. In autumn, its deciduous, serrated dark green leaves transform into vibrant red, adding extra seasonal interest. Height & Spread: 100cm (39″). A relatively new introduction that produces flowers on both new and old stems, unlike other Hydrangeas. Hydrangea serrata prefers a sunny or semi-shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply.
