Hydrangea 'Living Little Apple'Hydrangea paniculata

Hydrangea Living Little Apple brings vibrant, ever-changing beauty to shady corners, offering more than 100 days of striking blooms! The large, conical flower heads start as a fresh, crisp apple-green in July, then subtly transition to softer hues in August and September, finally maturing to a creamy green by autumn. This dynamic colour evolution creates an enchanting display that breathes life into shaded garden spaces throughout the season. Part of the renowned Living Creations collection, Living Little Apple is the result of decades of expert cultivation at a family-run nursery in the Netherlands. These premium-quality hydrangeas are known for their hardiness, strong stems, and robust growth. They boast a wide range of colours, a long flowering period, and a longer lifespan, making them a fantastic investment for any garden. Not only are they visually stunning, but they’re also incredibly low-maintenance. More resilient to drought than mophead hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla), Living Little Apple thrives in woodland-like conditions, making it an ideal choice for shady borders, patios, or even larger pots. These hydrangeas are well-suited for north-facing or shaded areas where other plants might struggle. Their strong, well-branched stems support large, long-lasting blooms, with flowers that continue to evolve in colour from July to September. Hydrangea Living Little Apple is the perfect solution for brightening up those tricky spots in the garden that are often overlooked—transform that dull, shaded corner into a lively and charming feature with this unique hydrangea. Once established, simply prune the plants back to a low framework each spring for easy care and continued beauty year after year. Height: 60cm (24in). Spread: 70cm (28in). One of the exceptional ‘Living Creations’ series, Hydrangea ‘Living Little Apple’ is a strongly-branching, compact, long-flowering variety featuring large flowers, starting apple-green in July and softening to creamy green by September. Hydrangea paniculata prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any non alkaline, fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply.
