Hydrangea paniculata (1/4 Standard, 80–100cm Stem) — 4 Varieties
£75.00
Description
Hydrangea paniculata is one of the best shrubs for long-lasting summer colour — and trained as a 1/4 standard it becomes an instant feature plant, adding height, structure and a cloud of flowers above the border. These hydrangeas flower on new growth, so they’re wonderfully dependable, and the blooms hold for weeks, often changing tone as they mature.
On this page you can choose from four beautiful Hydrangea paniculata varieties — ‘Limelight’, ‘Kyushu’, ‘Vanilla Fraise’ and ‘Grandiflora’ — each with its own character, but all with that classic paniculata performance: generous cone-shaped flowers, a long flowering season, and strong garden presence.
Perfect for framing an entrance, punctuating a border, or styling in a large pot on a patio, these standards give you that “designed” look instantly — with very little fuss.
