💗 Large deep pink flower heads • 🔁 Repeat flowering from June to October • 🌸 Delivered in bud, 7 to 12 flower heads • ⛅ Partial shade • ❄️ Hardy down to -25 °C • 🪴 Compact habit, ideal for growing in a pot
Hydrangea macrophylla Forever & Ever® Pink is a mophead hydrangea from a repeat-flowering series: it flowers both on the previous year's wood and on the current year's shoots. A European horticultural selection, it brings pink flowers to partially shaded balconies and terraces, blooming repeatedly from June until the first frosts.
Its special feature is its reliability: where a classic hydrangea will not flower if frost or overly severe pruning has removed the previous year's buds, Forever & Ever® produces new flowers on its new shoots. Delivered in bud, standing 55 cm tall in a 23 cm pot, it bears 7 to 12 flower heads that open pale green before turning pink.
Which hydrangea should you choose?
The Hydrangea varieties in the catalog do not all have the same flowering period or uses:
- Forever & Ever® (this plant) — repeat-flowering: it blooms again on the current year's shoots, even after a harsh winter or incorrect pruning. The safest choice for flowering every year.
- Magical® Revolution — flowers that change color from July to October, a variety awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society. The most spectacular in late summer.
- Magical® Jewel — starts lime green and ends deep purple-red. The most contrasting in the series.
- Magical® Greenfire — pink flamed with green. The most tolerant of full sun.
- Magical® Noblesse — almond green, then pure white, then bright green. The best suited to shade.
- Magical® Ruby Tuesday — from green to intense red. The deepest red in the series.
- 'Pink Annabelle' — Hydrangea arborescens with large flower heads on sturdy stems, to be cut back hard every winter. The hardiest.
- Hydrangea petiolaris — the only climber, perfect for covering a wall in the shade.
Forever & Ever® is also available in Blue, Red, White and Purple.
Light & location
Pink flowers do not tolerate afternoon sun well: they fade and turn brown at the edges after a few hot days, whereas in partial shade they retain their intensity for several weeks.
- Exposure: partial shade, morning sun or light afternoon shade.
- Location: east- or north-west-facing terrace, entrance, against a wall, shaded courtyard.
- Hardiness in a pot: down to -25 °C — it can remain outdoors in winter.
- Soil type: moist, rich, neutral to slightly alkaline — this is what preserves the pink color.
An east-facing terrace is the ideal location: morning sun intensifies the color, while afternoon shade preserves it.
Watering & care
The hydrangea is one of the most water-hungry shrubs in the catalog: in a pot, it may need daily watering in very hot weather. An absence of a few days in summer needs to be planned for, and leaves turning yellow between the veins indicate a substrate that is too poor.
- Watering: generously and regularly — every two to three days in summer, much less in winter.
- Water: tap water is suitable — unlike blue varieties, the pink one is not affected by limescale.
- Fertilizer: fertilizer for flowering plants, from March to July — avoid fertilizer for blue hydrangeas, which contains aluminum sulphate.
- Pruning: remove faded flowers just above the first pair of buds, in March.
- Repotting: into a wider pot the following spring, using potting soil for flowering plants.
Removing faded flowers during the summer encourages the production of new flower heads on the current year's shoots.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
The hydrangea's pink pairs well with deep greens and whites rather than bright colors, along with balcony plants suited to the same exposure.
- For a pink and white duo, pair it with Hydrangea 'Strong Annabelle' — same exposure, same water requirements, and the pure white makes the pink appear more intense.
- To dress the base, plant a Carex 'Ice Dance' around the edge of the pot — its fine, cream-edged foliage lightens the mass of the large flower heads.
- For winter interest, place an 'Eve Price' laurustinus next to it — evergreen, it flowers pale pink from November to March, when the hydrangea is dormant.
- To enhance the pot, choose the Capi Nature Groove taupe pot — its warm, neutral shade complements the pink without competing with it, whereas a colorful pot would overwhelm it.
Leave the last flowers to dry on the plant in autumn: they take on old-rose tones and remain decorative throughout the winter.
Verdeia tips
- Avoid ericaceous compost: in acidic soil, the hydrangea absorbs aluminum from the soil and its pink flowers turn mauve. Compost for flowering plants preserves the original color.
- Never cut the stems in autumn: the dried flowers protect the buds from the cold. Wait until March to remove them.
- Give it instead of a bouquet: the pink hydrangea symbolizes gratitude and sincere affection, and flowers again every year. There is a plant for every occasion, depending on the meaning of gift plants.
