View the Hydrangea rangeHydrangea is a versatile product group within ornamental shrubs. Hydrangea paniculata (panicle hydrangeas), Hydrangea macrophylla (bigleaf hydrangeas), Hydrangea arborescens (smooth hydrangeas) and Hydrangea anomala petiolaris (climbing hydrangeas) differ in flower shape, growth habit and use. That makes a targeted selection important for both retail display and planting.
At Avaxa Plants you can buy various hydrangeas through a broad network of growers. In our webshop you can view product photos, pot sizes, heights and current availability. With a trade account you can see prices and place your order directly. For specific requirements, you can contact our team.
A selection from our Hydrangea range
The range includes a wide variety of Hydrangea species for different uses. Think of Hydrangea paniculata with cone-shaped flower panicles, Hydrangea macrophylla with mophead or lacecap flower heads, Hydrangea arborescens with large round flower heads and Hydrangea anomala petiolaris as a climbing species. Below we highlight three important groups:
Panicle hydrangeas for colourful borders
Hydrangea paniculata forms upright shrubs with cone-shaped flower panicles that change from white or light green to pink in various cultivars. This group suits sunny to partially shaded borders and larger planting areas, provided the soil stays sufficiently moist. When purchasing, compare above all the final height, flower colour and growth habit. Compact cultivars are also of interest for container displays.
Bigleaf hydrangeas for colourful displays
Hydrangea macrophylla is recognisable by its globe-shaped or flat flower heads in various colours, including pink, blue, white and purple. Collections such as Endless Summer® and Forever & Ever® offer recognisable assortment lines. These hydrangeas are of interest for container displays, terraces and sheltered borders. When purchasing, match the flower colour, growth stage and pot size to your selling period.
Smooth hydrangeas for larger planting areas
Hydrangea arborescens, including 'Annabelle' and several pink-flowering selections, forms striking round flower heads. This group is suitable for repeat planting in borders and larger landscape projects. Consider the final width and the sturdiness of the shoots. For garden centre sales, flower size, even growth and plant appearance are the key selection points.

Hydrangea for your business or project
Hydrangea for garden centres and wholesalers
For garden centres and wholesalers, a Hydrangea display can be built around recognisable flower colours, growth habits and selling periods. For example, combine compact bigleaf hydrangeas for container sales with panicle hydrangeas that offer ornamental value later in the season. Choose suitable pot sizes and pay attention to uniformity of flowering stage when presenting several batches together.
With the webshop you compare product photos and available sizes. This allows you to plan the range by colour, size and delivery timing, and then order directly for trade, tailored to your customers and sales floor.
Hydrangea for hoveniers and landscaping companies
For landscaping companies, choosing hydrangeas revolves around the planting plan. Hydrangea paniculata often fits in sunny to partially shaded areas, while Hydrangea macrophylla usually needs a more sheltered spot. For vertical planting, the climbing Hydrangea anomala petiolaris may be of interest. Always check soil moisture, drainage and the final plant size.
Before installation, check the correct botanical names, quantities and pot sizes. Compare available products online and place your order. For large, uniform batches or specific requirements, you can also discuss options in advance.
Buying tip from Avaxa Plants
Compare hydrangeas not only by flower colour, but also by pruning group. Hydrangea paniculata and Hydrangea arborescens generally flower on new wood, whereas many classic Hydrangea macrophylla cultivars flower on old wood. This determines how customers should prune the plant and what flowering they can expect. Include this in the product presentation or in your planting advice.
What to look for when buying Hydrangea?
• Species and position: Check the full botanical name and cultivar. Panicle hydrangeas generally tolerate more sun than many bigleaf hydrangeas. For all groups, ensure sufficient soil moisture.
• Flower colour and flower form: Choose deliberately between globe, lacecap and panicle flower heads. With certain bigleaf hydrangeas, the flower colour can change depending on soil acidity and the availability of aluminium.
• Pot size and growth stage: Compare product photos, pot sizes and plant heights. For direct retail display, a plant with visible flower buds may be more attractive than one that is not yet flowering.
• Quantities and delivery timing: Check which sizes are available for your desired period. For larger batches, watch for differences in height, branching and development, so that the plants form an even overall appearance together.

Frequently asked questions about buying Hydrangea from Avaxa Plants
Which hydrangea is suitable for sun and which for partial shade?
Hydrangea paniculata and Hydrangea arborescens can often grow well in sun to partial shade when soil moisture is sufficient. Many bigleaf hydrangeas prefer protection from strong afternoon sun. For climbing hydrangeas, partial shade is often suitable. Always consider the cultivar, local temperatures, soil moisture and drainage.
Why do blue and pink hydrangeas differ in colour?
With some Hydrangea macrophylla cultivars, the flower colour partly depends on soil acidity and the availability of aluminium. A blue hydrangea therefore does not stay blue under all conditions. Check the characteristics of the cultivar when a specific flower colour is important for your range.
Are there compact hydrangeas for containers and small gardens?
Yes, within Hydrangea paniculata and Hydrangea macrophylla, among others, there are compact-growing cultivars. When selecting, consider not only the height at delivery but above all the expected mature height and width. This matters for terrace planting, small borders and sales advice.
How do I order larger quantities of Hydrangea for a project?
