Bloomin' brilliant hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are by far one of the most popular garden plants, and it’s not hard to see why. They’re easy to care for and they offer up of a profusion of flower heads throughout the summer months, often changing hues into late summer and autumn. If you’re looking for some flower power, you’ll go some way to beat this gorgeous group of plants.
Here at Trelissick, we use them to great effect throughout the gardens; they clothe bare walls and scale mighty trees, they add elegance and light to shady areas, and provide a immense blast of colour all summer long.
These are just some of our favourites.
