{"product_id":"hydrangea-runaway-bride-runaway-bride-hydrangea","title":"Hydrangea 'Runaway Bride' - Runaway Bride Hydrangea","description":"\u003cp\u003eHydrangea 'Runaway Bride' flowers along the whole length of each stem, not just at the tips. That gives one plant dozens of white lacecap heads at once, flushed soft pink as they age, on arching stems that spill over the edge of a pot or garden bed. It was named RHS Chelsea Plant of the Year in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is compact, growing to about 0.8 to 1.2 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide with a mounded, slightly cascading habit. It flowers on both old and new growth, so the display repeats from spring through summer and a firm prune will not cost you the season. It loses its leaves in winter and reshoots in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it morning sun and afternoon shade in rich, moist soil that drains well. It handles light to moderate frost once established. Use it in large pots, hanging baskets, courtyards and shaded beds along paths and entries, where the flowering stems can be seen up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:44px 0 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:1.5px;margin:0 0 8px;padding-top:32px;border-top:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);text-transform:uppercase;color:currentColor;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 24px;color:currentColor;opacity:0.65;font-size:14px;font-style:italic;\"\u003eAbout Runaway Bride Hydrangea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eWhat makes 'Runaway Bride' different?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eMost hydrangeas flower only at the stem tips. 'Runaway Bride' flowers from buds along the whole stem, so it carries far more heads at once and keeps flowering longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eHow big does it grow?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eAbout 0.8 to 1.2 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide. In a pot or basket it stays at the smaller end of that range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eWhen does it flower?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eFrom spring through summer, roughly October to February in most Australian gardens. New heads keep opening over a long period rather than all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eHow much sun does it need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eMorning sun and afternoon shade is ideal. Hot afternoon sun scorches the leaves and shortens flowering. Deep shade reduces flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eCan I grow it in a pot or hanging basket?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eYes. The cascading stems make it one of the best hydrangeas for containers. Use a pot at least 40 centimetres wide and quality potting mix, and check moisture daily in hot weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eWhen and how do I prune it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eRemove spent heads through summer to encourage more. In late winter, cut back to shape and remove weak or dead stems. Because it flowers on new growth too, pruning does not cost you the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eIs it frost tolerant?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eYes, light to moderate frost once established.
