Hydrangea Macrophylla 'Red Baron' ('Red Baron') - Shrub - 10 (litres)

Description

Hydranga can be deciduous or evergreen shrubs, or self-clinging climbers. With flowers in clusters usually comprising both small fertile and more showy sterile flowers; with often good autumn colour. Hortensia hydrangeas are compact bushy deciduous shrubs with broadly ovate leaves and rounded flower clusters composed almost entirely of showy sterile flowers. The plant itself is hardy at H5 and only needs sheltering in extreme weather conditions. It is prone to potential pests and diseases so keep this in mind. Follow the guidelines of pruning group 4 for maintaining.
