Hydrangea Plant 'Hercules'

Hydrangea ‘Hercules’ looks great on its own and brings plenty of oomph to a mixed border with its height and huge flowerheads made up of hundreds of green-white blooms with a pink tinge that appear from July to September. Its foliage turns from green to vibrant autumnal colours later in the year. Grow this dynamic hardy shrub in sun or partial shade in borders and mass plantings, along woodland edges or in large pots. The flowers of ‘Hercules’ are 40cm wide and their strong upright stems are perfect for cutting. This shrub has a height and spread of up to two metres (79ins).

Hydrangea ‘Hercules’ towers over many other shrubs and the sheer size of its flowerheads gives it a real ‘wow factor’.

This shrub’s 40cm-wide flowerheads are made up of hundreds of green-white blooms with a pink tinge. They are great for cutting and look good fresh or dried. In the garden the faded flowerheads provide visual interest over the winter months.

A great shrub for the back of a border.

Guide To Plant Sizes

Guide to Shrub Plant Sizes

Our Shrubs come in sizes from 9cm pots up to 15L. All are mature enough to be planted out into their final position in the garden.

How you will receive your plants:

Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a pot. If you have ordered your shrub during autumn or winter it may appear yellow or have no leaves. The plant is still healthy and ready to plant but looks different during different seasons.

Can’t plant straight away?

Place in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the compost moist.

Planting instructions:

Unpack and as long as the weather is favourable, put outside as soon as it arrives and give it a water.

When ready to plant, ensure it’s positioned in the right location and aspect in the garden.

Keep the area around it clear to avoid overcrowding which reduces its establishment and growth.

Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy, mix in a soil improver before backfilling. We also recommend adding plant feed into the hole before back filling to help establishment and growth.

Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.

Feeding and aftercare: Keep it well watered and fed for establishment and growth. Trim in summer if needed to maintain the shape of the plant. Can be mulched in autumn/spring each year.

Planting and Flowering Months:

Planting and flowering months are subject to seasonal weather conditions. Shrubs can be planted all year round but take extra care during the cold winter months to avoid frost and hot summer months with extra watering.
