'Stand Up Pink'
Hydrangea 'Stand Up Pink' brings soft, steady colour to summer planting, with pale pink to antique rose flowerheads held confidently from July to September. Its name is pleasingly literal: the strong, upright stems keep the blooms poised neatly above clean green foliage, so the plant looks fresh rather than flustered, even as the season rolls on. Compact and composed, Hydrangea 'Stand Up Pink' reaches around 80cm high and wide, making it a very useful choice where space matters but impact still does. The rounded flowerheads have a gentle, romantic quality, while the sturdy habit gives the whole plant a reassuring sense of order.
Use Hydrangea 'Stand Up Pink' in borders, group plantings or generous terrace containers, where its neat shape and long flowering season can earn their keep. It settles well in sun or partial shade, preferring average, moist but well-drained soil, and its hardy nature makes it a dependable returner year after year. Hydrangea 'Stand Up Pink' needs little fuss beyond watering in dry spells and a light tidy when required, which is always welcome in a plant with such polished manners. Pair Hydrangea 'Stand Up Pink' with silvery foliage, soft grasses or white perennials for a calm, elegant scheme with just enough pink to feel cheerful.

Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
