Fairytrail Bride Cascade hydrangea is your chance to grow a legend! Originally introduced as Runaway Bride hydrangea at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2018 - where it earned the prestigious Plant of the Year award - this fabulous plant is finally available in North America under the name Fairytrail Bride. 

Fairytrail Bride is known as a Cascade Hydrangea, a totally new type of hydrangea with a horizontal habit. It forms big, lacecap bloom clusters along the entire length of those elegant long stems, creating a flower-festooned effect that's unlike anything else you've seen. It blooms for several weeks from late spring through summer for a long-standing display that will delight you year after year.

This hydrangea is not as hardy as other types of hydrangeas you may be familiar with. If you live in an area where you cannot successfully grow Fairytrail Bride Cascade Hydrangea outdoors, you can grow it in a large weatherproof pot and store it in a cool, bright spot over winter where it will be safely protected from prolonged or extreme cold.

What makes Fairytrail Bride Cascade Hydrangea different than others?

• Forms flower buds at every leaf node, creating a truly impressive display.
• Blooms earlier than other hydrangea varieties, during spring.
