Product description

Hydrangea 'Petite Lantern' is a spectacular dwarf deciduous shrub celebrated for producing enormous conical flower heads on a wonderfully compact, upright frame. Blooming prolifically from mid-summer into early autumn, the stunning panicles emerge a creamy white before rapidly intensifying into dramatic shades of deep raspberry pink and red. Highly versatile and visually impactful, this neat bushy plant delivers a spectacular, long-lasting seasonal display that looks absolutely incredible in small patio containers or mixed structural borders.

When establishing this vibrant shrub, choose a position in full sun or partial shade that offers rich, fertile earth which remains moist but well-drained. It is a fully hardy variety that easily withstands freezing winter temperatures and requires very little ongoing maintenance to sustain its highly attractive shape. To maintain its compact size and guarantee a massive flush of summer flowers, simply prune the older stems back to a framework of healthy buds in early spring.

Period of Interest

Planting and period of interest times are general guidelines and may vary based on your location and conditions. For best results, consult local gardening resources.

Instructions

Top Tip

To encourage the strongest stems and maximum blooming potential, apply a balanced granular fertiliser around the base of your Hydrangea 'Petite Lantern' every spring. Because it flowers on new wood, you should prune your Hydrangea 'Petite Lantern' hard in late winter to promote a highly vigorous flush of fresh growth for the coming season.

How to Water

Provide your Hydrangea 'Petite Lantern' with a generous soaking immediately after planting to help settle the earth and eliminate any trapped air pockets around the root system. Keep the ground consistently moist during its first growing season, noting that your Hydrangea 'Petite Lantern' requires plenty of water during hot summer spells to ensure a prolific floral display.

How to Plant

Select a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil and dig a hole wide enough to comfortably accommodate the root ball of your Hydrangea 'Petite Lantern'. Position your Hydrangea 'Petite Lantern' so the base of the stem sits exactly level with the surrounding ground, then carefully backfill the earth and press down firmly to secure the plant.
