{"product_id":"hydrangea-macrophylla-big-leaf-hydrangea","title":"Big Leaf Hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla","description":"\u003cp\u003eHydrangea macrophylla is the quintessential cottage garden shrub, beloved for its lush green foliage and spectacular mophead or lacecap flowers that bloom in shades of blue, pink, purple, red, and white from summer through to autumn. One of its most fascinating qualities is that flower colour can be influenced by soil pH, with blue flowers appearing in acidic soils and pink or red tones in alkaline soils, while white-flowering varieties remain white regardless of conditions. Growing to approximately 1.5m tall and 1m wide, it is a classic choice for garden beds, shady borders, and large containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a naturally rounded, clumping habit and thick, glossy green leaves, Hydrangea macrophylla suits a wide range of garden styles from formal to relaxed cottage. It thrives in full sun, semi shade, and full shade, and makes an outstanding cut flower both fresh and dried. Keep moist during dry periods, mulch well, and feed annually with a slow-release fertiliser for the most impressive flowering display each season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Nest","offers":[{"title":"20cm","offer_id":46531092152481,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9711\/0433\/files\/15_bb446d9b-9ce6-463f-adb6-71f42a425f6e.png?v=1781159035","url":"https:\/\/www.plantnest.com.au\/products\/hydrangea-macrophylla-big-leaf-hydrangea","provider":"Plant Nest | Trees, Hedging Plants \u0026 Garden Inspiration","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
