Description
- 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.

How to grow
How to grow
Good pest and disease resistance
While generally healthy, hydrangeas can be affected by aphids, scale insects, leaf spot and mildews.
Water regularly when establishing
Water your hydrangea regularly throughout its first growing season, as well as during hot, dry spells once established.
Full sun to partial shade
Grows well in partial shade or full sun (provided you're able to keep the soil moist).
Any moist, well-drained soil
Grows nicely in most soils provided drainage is good and some moisture is retained.
Feed after planting
While established hydrangea plants don't typically require feeding, an initial feed with general fertiliser can be beneficial post-planting.

Meet Josh'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, Josh 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 South Downs, to toughen them up for UK gardens.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
