Hydrangea Mac White Ball 30 Litre Pot

Hydrangea macrophylla 'White Ball' – Classic Elegance with Long-Lasting White Blooms

Hydrangea macrophylla 'White Ball' is a compact, deciduous shrub cherished for its large, pure white mophead flowers and lush green foliage. Timeless and graceful, it brings brightness and structure to borders, beds, and containers throughout the summer and into early autumn.

Seasonal Highlights

• Spring: Fresh green leaves emerge, creating a lush and tidy framework.

• Summer: Large, rounded flower heads open in crisp white, blooming for many weeks.

• Autumn: Blooms age to soft green or pale pink tones, while the foliage adds late-season fullness.

• Winter: Deciduous – bare stems provide subtle structure, and dried blooms can be left for winter interest.

Key Features

• Showy white mophead blooms – Elegant and bold, offering a clean, refreshing look.

• Lush, mid-green foliage – Provides a vibrant contrast to the brilliant flowers.

• Compact growth – Makes it ideal for pots, patios, or the front of borders.

• Long flowering season – Blooms reliably from early summer to early autumn.

• Easy to grow – Low maintenance and hardy in most UK gardens.

Perfect For

• Cottage and formal gardens – Blends beautifully into a range of garden styles.

Growing Tips

Looks Great With
