Hydrangea ‘Angel Wings’ is an enchanting deciduous shrub renowned for its delicate lacecap flowers and compact growth habit, ideal for UK gardens. Growing to a height of approximately 1-1.5 meters, it forms a neat mound of glossy green foliage that turns burgundy-red in autumn, adding seasonal interest.

Best planted in partial shade to full shade, ‘Angel Wings’ thrives in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It produces clusters of exquisite lacecap flowers from mid-summer to early autumn. These flowers feature delicate pink or blue sterile florets surrounding a central cluster of fertile florets, attracting bees and butterflies to the garden.

Maintenance for ‘Angel Wings’ is straightforward. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the shrub as desired. Feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.

The nectar-rich flowers of ‘Angel Wings’ provide an essential food source for bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
