Hydrangea Unique, commonly known as ‘Panicled Hydrangea” is an exceptional variety of hydrangea prized for its robust growth and stunning floral display. This large deciduous shrub, known for its vigorous nature, can reach heights of up to 4 metres with an equally impressive spread, making it a prominent feature in any garden. The plant’s lush green foliage provides a beautiful backdrop to its striking blossoms, creating a visually appealing contrast that enhances its ornamental value.

In late Summer it produces large, cone-shaped flower clusters which initially appear creamy white, gradually transitioning to a delicate pink as they mature, adding a dynamic colour shift to the garden landscape. The flowers are not only visually captivating but also attract a variety of pollinators, contributing to the biodiversity of the garden.

This Hydrangea is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning. Trimming back spent flowers and any dead or damaged branches in late Winter or early Spring helps maintain its shape and encourages healthy new growth. With its dramatic floral display and easy-care nature, it is a remarkable choice for adding elegance and beauty to a variety of garden settings, from expansive landscapes to smaller, more intimate garden spaces.

How to care for your Hydrangea Unique

  • Planting Location: Choose a site with well-drained, fertile soil in full sun to partial shade.  Can tolerate different soil types but prefers consistently moist conditions.
  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain consistent soil moisture. Avoid water logging the soil, as it can lead to root rot.
  • Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weed growth.
  • Fertilising: Feed annually in early Spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser to support robust growth and abundant flowering.
  • Pruning: Prune minimally, focusing on removing spent flowers and any dead or damaged branches in late Winter or early Spring to encourage healthy new growth.
  • Support: As it can grow quite large, consider staking or providing support to prevent the branches from flopping over, especially when in full bloom.

By following these care guidelines, you can ensure that your Hydrangea Unique remains healthy, vibrant, and a stunning focal point in your garden, providing beauty, drama, and elegance throughout the growing season.
