If you want showstopping flowers that will make a real statement then the ‘Hercules’ is the perfect choice. The extremely large flower heads emerge creamy white with a green hue and later develop a rosy blush. In terms of foliage, the sizeable leaves are dark green and serrated at their edges, adding further interest. This hydrangea is also exceptionally hardy, down to around -30, making it suitable for a range of sites and conditions. We love this as part of a mixed border and it looks beautiful when planted alongside the rich ruby flowers of the Hydrangea 'Wims Red’.

Mail-Order-Trees cannot be held responsible for delayed deliveries due to factors beyond our control such as Public Holidays or adverse weather conditions which make it impossible to lift bare-rooted trees. In cases such as these, you will be notified.
We can only deliver to physical addresses and not to PO boxes. A complete address including correct postcode must be provided. Incorrect postcodes cause more delays than omitting the postcode altogether.
