Hydrangea Tosca
If you want to know the pH of your soil, plant Tosca. It's usually a warm mid-rose, but it can also flower in baby pink, lilac, or sky blue. So this one will be a bit of a surprise!
If you don't want a colour clash, hydrangeas grow happily in containers and tubs, then you can move them to where the flowers will harmonise best.
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Tosca'
APPEARANCE : Large leaved deciduous shrub with large rounded mophead flower heads in shades from pale pink to sky blue depending on the pH of the soil . Shade may vary according to soil - alkaline and chalk soils give pinker shades; acid soils give bluer ones; neutral pH gives a lilac flower.
USE FOR : Ideal for cottage gardens, woodland style gardens, and containers.
PLANTING: Hydrangeas prefer a partly shaded position in the garden, rich soil, and plenty of water during dry periods.
CARE: Water regularly during the first 8-12 weeks until the plant is established. Apply a slow release fertiliser early spring. Protect from harsh sunlight. Macrophyllas flower on old wood so site them carefully to give them space to grow. Prune them by deadheading spent flowers back to a leaf joint.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 1.5m H x 1.5m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
