GIANT SKY-BLUE MOPHEAD Hydrangea macrophylla Elbtal BLUE - Large Flowered Mophead Hydrangea - XXXL Plants
Availability: Out of stock
Wow! These plants are monsters, and can be expected to throw out up to 30 strong flower heads during their first flowering season in your garden. A jaw-dropping Hydrangea variety with huge sky-blue flowers, often found in high class florist bouquets, it has massive blooms up to the size of a football. Cut to near ground level over winter each year, and they will then throw up masses of strong new stems and big blooms each summer. Our plants are very strong and ready to grow away with vigour.
Hydrangeas put on good amounts of healthy growth each year and quickly establish, and produce massive, bright flower clusters even when planted in a dull, shady spot. You can also use them as cut or dried flowers too. Use in beds and borders or patio planters. Like all our hardy plants, this is covered by our 5 year guarantee.
Supplied in approx 7-10 litre containers.

Overall, I'd say this is quite a healthy plant!
Healthy but does it grow on new or old wood?
However, the internet says this type of big leaf mophead macrophylla flowers on old wood which means its flowers should emerge from buds that were formed last year. Surely therefore you shouldn’t cut it down to ground level in the winter and if it has no buds (which it doesn’t) it won’t flower this year.
Is it some kind of hybrid? I would love to know. I should also mention I know nothing about gardening so am happy to proven wrong!
