Flowering Period
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Early Blue' is one of the first varieties to bloom, offering a burst of colour weeks before other hydrangeas and continuing through the summer. The dark blue florets form large mophead blooms at the tips of each stem, creating a striking display. As the flowers fade, the skeletal seedheads persist, adding visual interest all the way into winter. Like other macrophylla varieties, growing this plant in alkaline soil will encourage red-purple tones, while acidic soil or ericaceous compost will help maintain its vibrant blue colour. Height and spread: 120cm (48"). As the season progresses, the blue blooms gradually take on a pinkish hue in the autumn, and may also change depending on the pH of the soil or the presence of alkaline tap water. Hydrangea macrophylla 'Early Blue' begins to flower weeks before most varieties, and continues throughout the summer. Dark blue florets form large mophead blooms at tip of each stem. Hydrangea macrophylla prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich 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. Alternatively plant hydrangea macrophylla in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.
