Product Description
Hydrangea Red Riding Hood is a striking variety of the popular deciduous hydrangea shrub, often planted as informal hedging to create a riotous display of colour in the garden between June and October. Their lush, dark green foliage and large individual globes of vivid red flower clusters appear in summer when other shrubs are coming to the end of their flowering period. Hydrangea shrubs are incredibly popular ornamental plants and flourish best when pruned on an annual basis as soon as the new leaf buds begin to appear. We recommend that Hydrangea Red Riding Hood is planted in full sun to partial shade to ensure optimum intensity of flower colour. Supplied as 9cm pot grown plants.

Make sure that the hydrangea receives lots of water when the summer comes. Hydrangeas are very low maintenance and will need little pruning, but can be done in spring as new shoots appear. The old shoots should be left in the winter and not removed until spring.Hydrangeas can be grown in fertile, well drained soil and often prefer a shady location.
