Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bodonese', often simply called Bodonese Hydrangea, is a bold and beautiful deciduous shrub celebrated for its large, showy blooms and robust garden presence. A classic mophead variety, it produces generous, rounded clusters of flowers that emerge a rich pink in neutral to alkaline soils, and can shift to lilac or purplish hues in more acidic conditions.
Flowering from mid to late summer, 'Bodonese' brings a strong seasonal statement to borders, cottage gardens, and shady corners, where its vivid blossoms contrast strikingly against deep green, broadly ovate foliage. Each flowerhead can span 6–8 inches across, offering a long-lasting display that often persists into autumn, gradually fading to antique tones.
Growing to around 4–5 feet tall and wide, this well-branched shrub has a compact, rounded habit that suits both traditional beds and more contemporary planting schemes. It performs best in dappled shade or morning sun with protection from the harshest afternoon rays, thriving in moist but well-drained soil.
This 3L potted specimen is ideal for planting directly into garden beds or large containers, where it will quickly establish and begin putting on its signature floral display.
Flowering Period
July – August: Rounded mophead blooms in vivid pink to lilac-purple tones
September – October: Flowers mature to softer shades, with foliage turning golden-bronze
Reliable and rewarding, Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bodonese' offers vibrant colour, structure, and seasonal charm—perfect for softening borders, framing pathways, or anchoring shaded planting areas with effortless elegance.
