Product description
Hydrangea 'Skyfall' is an exceptional deciduous shrub celebrated for producing absolutely massive conical flower panicles heavily packed with unusually large, star-shaped florets that closely resemble hyacinth blossoms. Blooming prolifically from mid-summer into early autumn, the enormous flower heads emerge a soft pale green before fading to crisp white and eventually maturing into beautiful shades of pale pink. Highly versatile and visually impactful, this neat bushy plant delivers a magnificent, long-lasting seasonal display that looks absolutely incredible in 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.

Garden Plant Size Guide

Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

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