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.
'Mojito'
panicled hydrangea
Hydrangea 'Mojito' brings all the freshness of its cocktail namesake—minus the hangover. This distinctive panicled hydrangea features narrow, deep green leaves with fine serrations that frame large, conical clusters of flowers in cool lime and blush pink. The blooms of Hydrangea 'Mojito' begin in soft, minty green tones in midsummer, gradually blushing as they mature, creating a refreshing, ever-changing display that feels perfectly timed for long, warm days. The combination of pale green and pink is surprisingly sophisticated, lending a calm, cooling presence to borders and patio containers alike.
Compact yet exuberant, Hydrangea paniculata 'Mojito' maintains a naturally tidy shape, making it ideal for small gardens or as a highlight in mixed plantings. Its blooms last for months, holding both their colour and structure beautifully into autumn, when the lime tones deepen and take on warm, rosy tints. Whether grown in full sun or dappled shade, this variety is remarkably resilient and dependable. Combine Hydrangea 'Mojito' with ornamental grasses, hostas or ferns for a lush, textural planting that feels effortlessly balanced. Like its namesake drink, it’s crisp, refreshing and just a little bit indulgent—proof that even the most relaxed plants can make a seriously stylish statement.

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.
