Description
Cool, crisp, and a little bit different, Hydrangea ‘Mojito’ is loved for its distinctive lime-green flower heads that bring a fresh, modern feel to summer planting. The large, cone-shaped blooms open in zesty green tones, then soften towards creamy-white with subtle blush as they mature—creating a beautiful, layered look that lasts for weeks.
It’s a brilliant choice when you want something bright but not shouty: a hydrangea that feels clean, contemporary, and quietly special.
Why you’ll love it

Where to plant

- Large pots on patios (water consistently)
Caragh Garden Notebook (care made simple)
- Light: Sun to part shade
- Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained
- Water: Water well in dry spells; keep container plants evenly moist
- Feeding: Feed in spring to support strong growth and flowering
- Pruning: Prune in late winter/early spring—flowers form on new wood, so a cut-back encourages strong new stems and big blooms
Style tip
Pair with white roses, lavender, salvia, and ornamental grasses for a fresh, high-end look—or use it to brighten darker corners near evergreens.
