Hydrangea Forever & Ever P23

Hydrangea Forever & Ever P23

Hydrangea Forever & Ever P23 is a compact hydrangea for borders and large containers, prized for its rounded summer flowerheads and lush, green, deciduous foliage. In Irish gardens it thrives in light shade with morning sun and afternoon shade, in moisture-retentive but well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil; provide shelter from cold, drying winds. Flowers typically appear from July to September. Leave spent heads over winter for protection and remove in early spring, thinning a few of the oldest stems if needed; keep evenly moist in dry spells and mulch annually to conserve moisture.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
