Hydrangea ‘Paris’ is a compact mophead hydrangea that’s made for smaller gardens and stylish container planting. It stays nicely rounded and tidy, with glossy green leaves and big, rounded flower heads that bring strong colour without needing a huge space.

How to establish your Hydrangea Paris?

Light: Best in morning sun with afternoon shade, or bright dappled shade. In hotter/drier South Island spots, too much direct afternoon sun can scorch leaves and fade flowers.

Shelter: Protect from drying winds (hydrangeas hate drying out when they’re trying to hold big flower heads).

Soil: Plant into rich, composty soil that holds moisture but still drains well. If you’ve got clay, improve with compost and plant slightly proud so it doesn’t sit wet in winter.

Watering (first season): Keep consistently moist through summer—especially in pots. This is the difference between “a few flowers” and a full, lush show.

Mulch: Mulch 5–8cm with bark/compost to keep roots cool and reduce watering

How to maintain your Hydrangea Paris once established?

Deadhead: Snip off spent flower heads to keep Hydrangea ‘Paris’ looking sharp after winter (and to tidy plants in pots).

Pruning: Because mophead hydrangeas often form next season’s flower buds on older wood, keep pruning light.

In late winter/early spring, remove dead/weak stems and only shorten back to strong buds to hold flowering.

If you need to control size, do your harder shaping straight after flowering.

Feeding: Feed in spring with a general slow-release fertiliser or compost + sheep pellets. Pots appreciate a light top-up mid-summer.
