Description
The Hydrangea or Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bright White' is a variety that will charm with its white ball-shaped flowers, dark green foliage, and compact habit suitable for small spaces. It is a beautifully rounded, ornamental shrub from summer to autumn. This hydrangea is simple, elegant, and bright, perfect in a large pot or a small shaded bed. Plant it in a rich, humus-bearing soil that remains slightly moist.
The Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bright White' is a recent horticultural creation derived from H. macrophylla, the bigleaf hydrangea. Hydrangeas belong to the hydrangea family and are native to China and Japan. 'Bright White' is a fairly rapid-growing bush, showing a compact, dense, rounded habit and harmoniously formed vegetation. It reaches an average of 1m in all directions when fully mature in open ground. Its flowering takes place from June to July to September to October, in the form of spherical inflorescences, is very compact and is of good size (14-15 cm). They are composed of numerous simple sterile florets with four petals. They open in a pale green shade and then become pure white. The flowering spreads over dark green, glossy, deciduous foliage that falls in autumn. The wide leaves are opposite, reaching a minimum length of about ten centimetres. They are simple, ovate, ending in a tapered point, coarsely toothed like a saw. Hydrangeas can live for at least 50 years.
The 'Bright White' Hydrangea is a hydrangea that will be highlighted in the garden or on the terrace, alone or in the company of a double pink variety ('You and Me Romance') or a purple to brown one like 'Chocolate Ever Belles Hokomachoko' for example. Hydrangeas are well known for brightening the north side of houses. This one will thrive in non-burning east or west exposure, full sun or partial shade, beds, and isolation. This 'Bright White' variety is particularly suitable for container cultivation, and it can be placed on the balcony or near the entrance. Although hydrangeas are sensitive to limestone, they are not strictly speaking ericaceous plants. Pair them with Fuchsia magellanica, annual impatiens, or plant spring bulbs in front of their round silhouette. Enjoy their sumptuous flowering in the garden or the house for a long time.

Planting and care
Plant the 'Bright White' macrophylla hydrangea in spring or early autumn, preferably in a slightly shaded location, for example, against an east-facing or north-facing wall. It may be prudent to overwinter in very cold regions in a cold greenhouse or the conservatory, even though it can withstand -15°C. Keep it sheltered from cold and drying winds. It does not require ericaceous soil but appreciates deep, moist, well-drained, reasonably fertile soil, possibly enriched with a good base fertiliser before planting. If the soil is dry at the base of the wall, place the root ball at least 30-40 cm away from the base of the wall and incorporate a quantity of well-rotted compost to retain moisture in the soil better. Very hardy, it is not afraid to be planted in cold regions. As for pruning, remove faded flowers on the first bud or the pair of buds directly below. Cut back a quarter or a third of the older stems at the base when the plant is mature to promote the formation of new shoots. Carry out this pruning every year during March and April.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
