Hydrangea macrophylla 'Blue Expression' 1fordatum Highly attractive to pollinating insectsThis is one of our very favourite hydrangeas, dazzling with its showy flowers, long flowering period and free flowering nature. Flowering all the way from June through to September, the bluest flower colour will be achieved in acidic soil (around pH 5. 5). The higher the pH, the more purple pink the blooms will be. Hardy, easygoing and even suitable for growing in a large container, 'Blue Expression' is the definition of a delight! These lovely blooms
