Suttons Hardy Perennial Hydrangea Aspera Macrophylla, Deciduous Flowering Shrub,
Hydrangea aspera 'Macrophylla' is the ultimate showpiece Hydrangea, which looks great in woodland borders and cottage garden planting schemes. The large, deciduous shrubs have an open branching habit, with felted leaves and gorgeous lacecap flowers through the summer.

How to Grow
Hydrangea aspera ‘Macrophylla’ prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Alternatively, plant hydrangea macrophylla in patio containers in soil-based compost.
