A beautiful hydrangea with very large flower clusters – considerably larger than those of its cousin ‘Limelight’ – ‘Skyfall makes a magnificent feature plant in the garden or on the patio.
Each year strong, upright stems are produced with lush mid green foliage and these become topped with huge conical panicles of flowers supported on strong stems. The buds open to hyacinth-like flowers in a delicate shade of lime green, maturing to a gleaming white and lasting for weeks before flushing with delicate pink.
Hydrangea ‘Skyfall’ makes a premium standout border plant and is equally at home in a large patio planter. The fresh blooms – if you can bear to cut them – are imposing in a vase and the dried flowerheads can be used as a permanent decoration.
Naturally sturdy, it needs very little maintenance and will thrive in neutral to acid, free-draining soil in a sunny or part-shaded spot.
Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, Skyfall makes a stunning specimen, growing to approx. 2.5m in 10 years.
Care Information
Planting Advice for Hydrangea paniculata ‘Skyfall’:
- Really low maintenance, Incrediball prefers compost-enriched soil that stays moist. It can be planted in sun or light shade.
- Shrub roots generally tend to spread out rather than down, so dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you’re planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill one the shrub is in place.
- We’ve found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.
- Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.
- Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
- Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.
- Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot.
- Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling) and firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball, then water well.
- Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.
- If you’re planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
- Use the best compost you can buy and some sand or grit for drainage.
Aftercare Advice for your hydrangea Skyfall:
- Because the flowers are white, they are unaffected by soil type.
- Feed in spring to encourage flowering, our Hydrangea feed is ideal.
- Keep well-watered through the year.
Pruning Advice for Hydrangea Skyfall:
- As this hydrangea flowers on new wood, you can leave the faded hydrangea flower heads in place until the new buds begin to swell in spring ? this also protects the new growth from frost damage.
- Just cut back the stems to a strong pair of buds. Remove any branches that are damaged or dead as well as any that are misplaced.
- After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant.
- Once established, you can remove up to a third of the shoots to the base of the plant to encourage new stems.
