Hydrangea Schroll Popcorn Candy

Common Name:
Hydrangea 'Schroll Popcorn Candy'

Description:
Hydrangea 'Schroll Popcorn Candy' is a unique and eye-catching deciduous shrub known for its distinctive, popcorn-like clusters of blooms. Unlike traditional mophead hydrangeas, this variety produces tightly packed, rounded flowers that create a textured, almost three-dimensional effect. Depending on soil pH, the blooms can range from soft pink in alkaline soils to rich blue in acidic conditions, sometimes displaying a mix of both. Flowering from late spring through to autumn, 'Schroll Popcorn Candy' adds long-lasting colour to garden beds, borders, and pots. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers a sheltered position with morning sun and afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. Regular pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact, bushy shape. This hydrangea is also excellent for cut flower arrangements.
