UK winters are notably cold and damp, and many plants aren't fans of those conditions. There is one shrub that will take it on the chin, though: the humble hydrangea.
If you’re looking for shrubs that thrive in wet soils, are low-maintenance and put on a beautiful show of blooms every year, hydrangeas are a no-brainer. The shrub in my garden border has been a loyal staple for years – and so many hydrangea varieties are perfectly adapted to our wet winters.
