A more compact variety of this beloved shrub, Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Ab Green Shadow’ offers a fascinating colour-changing display. The blooms begin with a fresh lime green hue, gradually transforming as they mature. As they open further, a deep reddish-pink tint begins to appear along the edges of the petals, eventually enveloping the entire flower in a rich, vibrant shade. With flowers blooming throughout late summer and into autumn, this ongoing colour transformation adds a dynamic range of tones to your garden. Height: 100cm (39″). Spread: 100cm (39″). Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Ab Green Shadow’ is a smaller, more compact form of this ever-popular shrub. Its flowers have a wonderfully interesting colour-changing habit, with blooms that appear almost lime green. Hydrangea macrophylla prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich 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. Alternatively plant hydrangea macrophylla in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
