Overview

This captivating deciduous shrub showcases double-flowering white panicles that resemble mophead hydrangeas, making it a standout choice for both garden displays and cut flower arrangements. 'Tara' produces tightly packed florets that open from greenish buds, creating dense flowerheads that bloom and retain interest over many months. The plant's green foliage, reminiscent of oak leaves, undergoes a dramatic transformation in autumn, turning brilliant shades of bronze and red. Native to woodland areas in the southern United States, 'Tara' exhibits surprising drought tolerance once established, despite its preference for moist, well-drained soil.

Care guide

Choose a location with well-drained soil and partial shade to full sun. Prepare the planting hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. After planting, water thoroughly and apply a layer of organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. For aftercare, water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Feed in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser. Pruning should be minimal, as this hydrangea blooms on old wood. If necessary, prune immediately after Flowering to shape or control size, removing no more than one-third of the oldest stems at ground level. In late winter, trim off any dead or damaged wood.
