Description

Hydrangea paniculata 'Polar Bear'® is a beautiful summer flowering shrub with large cone-shaped flower heads. The densely packed creamy-white flowers emerge from lime-green buds and, as autumn approaches, the flowers transition from white to a soft pink. Fresh green ovate leaves make a beautiful backdrop before turning yellow in autumn.

A deciduous shrub with an upright habit, Hydrangea 'Polar Bear'® typically reaches up to 1.5 metres in height and spread. It thrives in moist but well-drained soils and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. It is ideal in mixed borders or as focal point.

Also known as: Panicled hydrangea 'Polar Bear'

Planting Steps

1Preparation

  • Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
  • Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
  • Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
  • To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

  • Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
  • Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
  • Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
  • Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

  • Water generously around the base of the plant.
  • If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
