Chelsea Flower Show Plant

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Miss Saori' is an award-winning deciduous shrub, renowned for its exquisite double blooms and reliable garden performance. This variety was crowned Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year in 2014, a testament to its exceptional beauty and breeding pedigree.

Why Choose Miss Saori?

• Unique Double Blooms: Each pure white floret is finely edged in rose pink, forming large, frothy flower heads that create a romantic focal point from early summer into autumn.
• Colour-Stable Performance: Unlike many hydrangeas, Miss Saori maintains its stunning colour regardless of soil pH—no need to adjust your garden's acidity.
• Seasonal Foliage Interest: Enjoy burgundy-tinged leaves in spring and autumn, providing year-round visual appeal even when not in flower.

Growing Guide

• Planting: Best planted in spring or autumn. Choose a spot with partial shade or morning sun and afternoon shade for optimal bloom colour and longevity.
• Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil. Tolerates a wide pH range, so you’ll always enjoy its signature pink-edged flowers.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially in the first growing season and during dry spells.
• Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK (RHS H5), suitable for most gardens.

Care & Maintenance

• Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering by removing spent blooms and weak stems. Avoid heavy pruning, as Miss Saori flowers on old wood.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring. Mulch annually to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Height & Spread: Grows to approximately 100cm (39in) tall and wide—compact enough for containers or small spaces.

Design Ideas & Companions

• Plant in mixed borders with shade-loving perennials like hostas, ferns, and astilbes.
• Use as a statement plant in patio pots or as a low hedge along garden paths.
• Excellent for cutting—enjoy fresh or dried blooms indoors.
