Nikko Blue Hydrangea macrophylla (Blue)

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Nikko Blue'

Due to the onset of autumn conditions, the leaves of the Nikko Blue have developed some seasonal blemishes. This is normal for Autumn/winter conditions when hydrangea leaves turn off-color due to their deciduous growth habit,  it can occur another times of the year if the leaves don't dry out after watering or a rain. Some customers who have never grown hydrangeas become alarmed and report various spots and discolorations they observe on the foliage. I reassure customers that this is normal. The leaves will drop off in winter/spring and fresh new unblemished leaves will begin to emerge in spring. This will continue year after year as part of the normal growth cycle

Noted for its blue mophead flower in alkaline soil. Will turn a lovely lilac-pink color in acidic soils containing aluminium.

Hydrangeas vary in color depending on the pH of the soil.

Height 1-2m

Width 1-1.5m

Prefers a shaded position and moist soil.

Flowers from Spring through till Autumn.
