I bought a Runaway Bride hydrangea earlier this year. It was £30 which I thought was expensive compared to other hydrangeas. I had heard that it had lots of flowers all the way up the stem as opposed to just at the end like a normal hydrangea.
I planted it in a pot and it has new growth of about 12". However, the few flowers that it has had have been covered by the new growth so you can't see them!
Monty Don has this hydrangea and seems to have had the same problem. It was on Gardeners World. He cut off the new growth so that he could see the flowers!!
I am wondering if the hydrangea will always be like this or will it improve as it matures.
Does anyone have a Runaway Bride that they have had for a few years? Does it improve with age or is it a bit of a duffer?
The picture is one from the internet. It is not my plant.
Thanks
