Typically flowers from late Spring through Summer. This classic Hydrangea produces impressive mophead-style flowers in rich blue shades when grown in suitable acidic soil. Flower colour can naturally vary towards lilac, purple or pink depending on the soil conditions. This deciduous flowering shrub is a lovely way to bring a soft, romantic feel to the garden, while its long-lasting flower heads are also excellent for fresh arrangements and can be dried for decorative displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn excellent choice for areas protected from intense afternoon sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower shades can change naturally according to the soil conditions, creating subtle variations in the display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA beautiful choice for patios, courtyards and other and other sheltered garden spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded flower heads create a striking seasonal display in the garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in fertile, moisture-retentive soil that drains well, choosing morning sun or semi-shade rather than a hot, exposed position. Water newly planted Hydrangeas regularly while they're establishing and during Cape Towns dry summer days.  A layer of organic mulch can help maintain more even soil moisture , while winter watering should be reduced when natural rainfall is sufficient. In mid-spring remove faded flower heads and lightly trim back to healthy buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDid You Know?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour of the Hydrangea can be influenced by the soil it grows in. Blue flowers are favoured by acidic conditions where aluminium is available, while plants growing in less acidic or alkaline conditions can have a surprising effect on the colour of your hydrangea's seasonal display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100.058%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.0869%;\"\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 52.6371%;\"\u003eHydrangea macrophylla 'Royal Blue Mix'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.0869%;\"\u003eGrowth Expectancy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 52.6371%;\"\u003e1.5m - 2.5m H x 1.5m W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.0869%;\"\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 52.6371%;\"\u003eSemi - Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.0869%;\"\u003eWater Smart \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 52.6371%;\"\u003eNo \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.0869%;\"\u003eIndigenous \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 52.6371%;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cape Garden Online","offers":[{"title":"9L","offer_id":50231144153143,"sku":"39989","price":198.95,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/5434\/4247\/files\/Hydrangea-royal-blue-mix-onlineshop-capegarde_2.png?v=1790691469","url":"https:\/\/www.capegardencentre.co.za\/products\/hydrangea-royal-bluu-mix","provider":"Cape Garden Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
