Hydrangea macrophylla 'Expression'
- With its showy pink blooms which appear in abundance throughout summer, Hydrangea 'Expression' is worthy of any garden, including yours!
- The flowers are held up against a lush backdrop of green foliage, resulting in a shrub that, to put it simply, wows.
- Hardy, easygoing and low-maintenance, this medium-sized shrub can even be grown in a large container, so you don't need to worry if you've only got a paved space available to you.
- Thanks to its tolerance of a range of conditions, you can use your hydrangea in a variety of planting schemes, including coastal, woodland and cottage gardens.
- Hydrangea flowers make for excellent cut flowers, so if you're looking to elevate your flower-arranging game, this plant is a great option.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
