Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Spooky'
- With its conical white, green-flushed blooms, held aloft on sturdy stems, and light green leaves offering a wonderful bushy backdrop, 'Little Spooky' is a terrific plant, not a terrifying one!
- Growing to only three-quarters of a metre, and often even smaller, this dwarf cultivar is perfect for patios, terraces and balconies, as well as smaller beds and borders.
- Hardy enough to withstand British winters (RHS H5) and tolerant of a wide range of conditions, 'Little Spooky' certainly isn't style over substance...
- Hydrangeas like this one make for excellent cut flowers, so why not use them in a bouquet or decorative floral arrangement?
- Another notable feature of this variety is its lovely autumn colour, which adds another dimension once the flowers begin to fade.

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.
