Hydrangea macrophylla 'Wedding Gown'
- This hydrangea has a matrimonial moniker, and let us be the first to tell you, its blooms wouldn't look one bit out of place starring in someone's big day! They are, simply put, stunning.
- The blooms emerge in typical lacecap fashion, comprising an outer ring of snow-white florets and an inner core of chartreuse buds. As these buds open up, the flowers take on a more recognisable mophead shape.
- Perfect for cottage and contemporary gardens, alike, this versatile shrub also looks brilliant planted up in a large pot on the patio terrace.
- Fully hardy and easy to grow, this hydrangea will reward you with years of service and asks for very little by way of care requirements in return. Just what we like to hear.
- This variety is a recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, which is bestowed upon those plants shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.

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.
