Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

'Little Rosy'
panicled hydrangea
Hydrangea 'Little Rosy' is proof that romance in the garden doesn’t have to come with sprawling borders or towering shrubs. This compact panicled hydrangea is a master of proportion, forming a neat mound of green foliage topped with perfectly shaped cones of flowers, initially emerging in a fresh cream colour then transforming through the summer to a deep rosy-pink. As the season progresses, the hue intensifies yet never lose their charm—each one a miniature bouquet that keeps the garden glowing from midsummer through to autumn. Hydrangea 'Little Rosy' is ideal for those who like a touch of luxury in smaller spaces, thriving just as happily in pots on a sunny terrace as it does in a well-tended border.
Hardy and unfussy, Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Rosy' handles British weather with style, whether basking in full sun or relaxing in partial shade. Its compact habit and sturdy stems mean there’s no need for staking or pruning marathons—just an occasional tidy-up in spring will do. The richly coloured blooms of Hydrangea 'Little Rosy' bring warmth and structure to containers, and pair beautifully with ornamental grasses or late-flowering perennials. Hydrangea 'Little Rosy' proves that small doesn’t mean subtle; it’s a plant with a confident presence and a long-lasting performance that makes even the tiniest garden feel like a grand affair.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
