GIANT - Hydrangea 'Avant Garde' - Worlds Largest Hydrangea - In Bud & Bloom!

Avantgarde is a unique long-flowering Hydrangea with truely enormous blooms, making it the world's largest flowering Hydrangea. Characterising Avantgarde are its large dark leaves and huge umbel of flowers with a minimum diameter of 30cm. Our plants have Huge Flower Heads forming in season at this size at their seasonal peak, and look very dramatic. The plant reaches a height of up to around 80-100cm tall. The flower is white at first, and then becomes a very light pink colour or powder blue in acid soils. When the mop head is fully in bloom, it will not weaken or fall, but become a green colour, and finally it will often age to a dramatic autumnal red shade. When the flowers are removed, a new flower appears after a few weeks, so you can enjoy Avant Garde continually through the year.

The enormous blooms will cover sturdy multi-branched plants, but if you remove side branches and grow as a single stem, the blooms get even larger. Each spectacular bloom remains for over 2 months, changing colour through shades of white, pink and finally lime green. Strong stems make these stunning hydrangea flowers ideal for cutting and ensure that the blooms won't flop - even after rain! An eye-catching shrub for borders or large patio containers.

Large and strong, supplied approx 5 litre containers.
