With its upright stems emerging from dense, bushy foliage, and glorious flower cones that go on something of a chromatic journey as they mature, this hydrangea is the very definition of a standout shrub. Emerging towards the end of summer in creamy hues, the blooms mature to darkening shades of pink, ensuring fabulous visual interest late in the season. One seriously tough cookie, 'Candlelight' will be able to withstand British winters without a fuss. Easy to grow and tolerant of a wide range of conditions, this hydrangea (as well as most others) is especially well-suited to coastal gardens, thanks to its good salt tolerance. Alongside its contribution to your garden's overall aesthetic appeal, this cultivar also makes excellent cut flowers for bouquets and arrangements. Plant 'Candlelight' as a flowering hedge, a feature plant in a dedicated flowerbed or as part of a woodland shrub garden.
