Description
The Toy Soldier Hydrangea is a variety of oakleaf hydrangea, with striking foliage and long-lasting flowers. White and green flowers bloom in conical clusters during summer and autumn. The lobed leaves resemble those of an oak and are bright green during the growing season before turning to deep red in autumn. The hydrangea is deciduous and hardy. The Toy Soldier is just as happy in the open ground as in a large pot, making it perfect for the garden as well as the patio and balcony.
Care
Hydrangeas don't like drought and need a lot of water, especially in summer. It is best to water the hydrangea a lot at once, then a little every now and then. Planting can be done from March to mid-October, either in the open ground or in an ornamental pot, but grows best in the open ground. When planting, keep a distance of 75 cm between plants. Pruning the plant is best done in March, about 30 cm above the ground. The harder you cut back the hydrangea, the bigger the flowers will become.
Size
When delivered, the plant has a height of 25-40cm, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is delivered in a 19cm diameter nursery pot.
