The hydrangea was supposed to be quite beautiful but the 4 plants ordered were head to toe in the box. The box was upright instead of being laid lengthwise. So the flowers of the top plants are all broken and the two bushes at the bottom a bit squashed. I think the orientation mention on the box is very discreet, barely visible even! I hadn't noticed it myself when I picked up my parcel! The collection points should be alerted to this storage issue... I have photos available. Same opinion for the other three hydrangea plants purchased at the same time... I hope all of this will be sorted out!!!

Description

Hydrangea paniculata Unique is one of the first shrubby hydrangeas with panicles. Very resistant to drought, it easily establishes itself even in non-acidic soil. It flowers from July to the first frosts and its large sterile flowers, 25 cm (9.8 in) in length, are white at budburst and then turn a very soft pink in the middle of flowering, when planted in a sunny exposure, before becoming dark red at the end of the flowering period. The flowers are gathered in panicles of 10 to 20 cm (3.9 to 7.9 in) in diameter.

Its green, ovate, dentate and pointed leaves are deciduous and measure from 7 to 15 cm (2.8 to 5.9 in) in length. Originating from China, Japan and Sakhalin Island in Russia, it is similar to Hydrangea paniculata Grandiflora but more vigorous. At maturity, it reaches a height of 3 to 4 m (9 ft 10 in to 13 ft).

This fast-growing hydrangea will beautifully decorate your flower beds. You can place it isolated in a flowering hedge, for example. Hydrangeas are well known for brightening up the north-facing side of houses. It can likewise be grown in a container on a terrace. The flowers are also magnificent when they are dried.
