Shrubs Hydrangea Alpen Gluth

Hydrangea Alpen Gluth

There’s nothing quite like a hydrangea for ‘boom’ appeal. They are instantly recognisable with their large puffy flower heads, and the Aplen Gluth is a bit of a charmelon..

Hydrangeas are hardy, deciduous shrubs that make excellent cut flowers and really fill up a gap in the flower border. The Alpen Gluth has stunning puffy flowers that range in colour from rich pink to striking purple depending on how acidic your soil is (high acidity will give you purple blooms).

Hydrangea Alpen Gluth keeps its blooms sat on top of bright green foliage for weeks on end. If you have a dull garden these can brighten the border or soften your decking without making a fuss.

Quick facts:

• What to use me for: I’m a great large border filler, I rock a container and make a cut flower display of big puffy marshmallow blooms

• I grow to: I’ll reach 1.5 – 2 metres in good conditions.

• Where to place me:  I like the sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. If you’re not sure – give me part shade all day such as under a tree.

• How far to space me:  I need a fair amount of space – a metre apart at least.

• Soil Conditions:  I like rich moist soils. Use fertiliser and mulch if yours is thin.
