Description: Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Bichon’ is a refined and elegant deciduous shrub prized for its large, mophead blooms in pure white. The flowers emerge crisp and bright through late spring and summer, gradually softening to a gentle pale green as the season progresses into autumn, creating a subtle and evolving display. Unlike many hydrangeas, the flower colour remains consistent and is not influenced by soil pH, making it a reliable choice for achieving a clean white palette in the garden. The lush, mid-green foliage provides a dense and attractive backdrop, enhancing the impact of the blooms. Well suited to Melbourne conditions, ‘Bichon’ thrives in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Ideal for garden beds, borders, and containers, it brings a timeless, classic look to shaded and cottage-style gardens while also performing beautifully as a cut flower.
