Hydrangea macrophylla Purple Lace Cap
Hydrangeas are a timeless, traditional favourite, these deciduous shrubs dazzle with flower colours of blue, white, red, pink or purple. The ‘Lacecap’ varieties are particularly elegant, with blooms arranged in a disk shape. Small flowers sit at the centre, surrounded by larger, showier ones on the outer edge, creating a stunning display throughout the summer. Warners have dedicated decades to growing and perfecting the best selection of Hydrangeas, ensuring you receive the finest and most vibrant varieties to enhance your garden.
Cultural
Macrophylla thrive in a part-shade position, protected from harsh sun and strong winds. They prefer rich, porous, and consistently moist soil to perform at their best. After flowering, it's ideal to deadhead and prune them to maintain their shape; if necessary, they can be cut back quite hard without harm. For optimal growth, feed them with an organic slow-release fertiliser in late spring. Purple varieties need acidic soil with a pH of around 5.5 to 6 to maintain their colour. If needed, apply elemental sulfur or aluminium sulfate to lower the pH.

Landscape Uses
Hydrangeas, with their large, showy blooms, make stunning focal points in garden beds and borders. Compact varieties thrive in large pots, making them perfect for adding beauty to patios, balconies, or courtyards. Their long-lasting, vibrant flowers are ideal for cutting and displaying indoors, and they are especially popular for wedding displays and floral arrangements. Perfect for both cottage and formal gardens, Hydrangeas pair beautifully with other traditional favourites like Camellias, Magnolias, and Azaleas.
