Hydrangea macrophylla 'Little Pink'
- Growing to well below one metre in height, 'Little Pink' is a compact dwarf hydrangea that's perfect for patio and container growing.
- While it might be small in size, this variety is big on blooms (in every sense). Because not only are the glorious pink, pompom-esque blooms seriously large, they're abundant, too!
- The eyecatching flowers are set against a bushy backdrop of lush, large, toothed green leaves, enabling the blooms to really shine.
- Easy to grow and fully hardy, this impressive little shrub will serve you well for many years, and do so with a minimum of fuss.
- Top tip: If you live on the coast and struggle to find plants suited to growing in the salty sea air, then bigleaf hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla) like this one are an excellent choice, thanks to their salt tolerance.

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.
