Hydrangeas!

One of the trending plants the last few years, here's a few things to know-

🌸 Hydrangeas are deciduous- the make great hedges but loose their leaves for winter

🌸 Paniculata (panicle) hydrangeas such as limelight & strawberry Sunday etc are a bit later flowering in the season, and also need to be pruned a bit differently to others but there are lots of videos on YouTube showing you how.

🌸 White hydrangeas remain white no matter the soil PH

🌸 Hydrangea pollen is sticky and doesn't become airborne easily, making them great for allergy sufferers.

🌸 Hydrangea means "water vessel," quite fitting as they are thirsty plants
