Hydrangea paniculata Wims Red Compact Deciduous Potted Shrub Garden Plant (9cm Pot, 15-30cm)

I have wanted a Hydrangea in the front of our garden since my mother passed in 2018. It was her fave plant and she had two of them in the front of her lounge window. They were HUGE too and had to be chopped back regularly, but O those massive flowers were so gorgeous to see.So I saw this and thought why not for the cost? Beats wearing my old disabled body out walking round the garden centre and being charged the earth.So I bought this and when it came, planted the thing. It is small and right in the middle of the plot, but since the planting has been more or less murdered by this heat wave we are in right now. I cannot feed the thing quick enough. But when it gets cooler and then rains and so forth, through Autumn and Winter it should recover and thrive next year into something grand and spectacular.I even named her Sylvia, after Mum.Looking forward to seeing some real beauty next year.

Plant arrived healthy but small at the moment . So we will see how it grows

I wanted a new dwarf shrubs for a tub and I didn't know which until I saw the Hydrangea and it was the only shrub I didn't have so I went for it and it looks lovely in the tub

I knew this would be supplied in a dormant state, but I was still surprised at how small and bare it looked, not at all how other plants I've ordered from plant suppliers have looked. It is sold as 20-30cm (inc. pot), mine only just made 20cm.The packaging was pretty poor and didn't offer a lot of protection, so I'm sure that didn't help the overall health of the poor thing.It's now been outside for 2 months in a sheltered position (offering winter protection from wind, rain and ground frost) and it looks completely dead and rotted. I shall hope that the evidence is wrong and that in 2 more months as we come into spring that it will recover and that I'll start to see some leaves, but I'm willing to bet there will be no buds or flowers this year.I won't be buying from this supplier again, I'll stick with who I know.

Its grown very healthy looking, however has only produced one flower which is very poor (even though its been very looked after)Not the red in colour i ordered 😞Its white, flat and very small.

Lovely plant grown lovely good colour good quality

These cutting are very small for the price , wouldn't buy again

It arrived very well wrapped with an Astilbe in the same package. Both hydrangea and astilbe looked super healthy and sturdy. They're planted out in the garden 2 days ago so it's a bit early to talk of growth rate but they still look happy. They went into the ground with excellent root system out of their pots which looked like it was ready for more space. If they fail in any way it certainly won't be down to the suppliers. Superb healthy arrivals grown and delivered. I was happy with the price.
