Hydrangea 'Runaway Bride'
- With its delicate white lacecap blooms appearing right through summer and into early autumn, 'Runaway Bride' is more like a runaway garden success as far as we're concerned.
- Having won the prestigious Plant of the Year award at RHS Chelsea, back in 2018, this hydrangea has every right to be capturing your attention right now.
- Producing as many as six times the number of flowers that a standard hydrangea does, this variety is the very definition of a spectacular feature plant.
- Compact in nature (growing to just over a metre) and trailing in habit, 'Runaway Bride' makes an excellent choice for patio pots. It even works well in a large hanging basket where its blooms can spill elegantly over the sides.
- Look closely at your plant's flowers, and you'll notice that some of them take on an attractive pink blush, further adding to its already considerable visual appeal.
