Why we love the Hydrangea Purple Ball

Rich, Jewel-Toned Statement

Jewel-toned violet mopheads make a sophisticated, show-stopping statement. Purple Ball is the colour for anyone wanting something a little different and a lot more memorable.

Made for Modern Courtyards

A natural match for silver foliage, soft greys and natural stone in contemporary Bayside courtyards. To hold that deep violet, Purple Ball loves slightly acidic soil, and our team is always happy to help you get the balance right.

Pot or Planting, It Shines

Stunning in a premium Cretan terracotta pot or planted together for a sweeping wash of colour. Either way, it’s a premium piece designed to elevate your space into a true oasis.

About the Hydrangea Purple Ball

Attracts Bees & Pollinators:

Her big, show-stopping mopheads are mostly a curated visual treat for us, though you’ll still spot the occasional local bee dropping by. For a true pollinator haven, our team loves pairing her with some of our bee-friendly Bayside natives.

Wind Tolerant

She prefers a sheltered oasis. To keep those generous blooms and lush leaves looking their best, tuck her away from harsh, drying coastal winds. A protected corner of the courtyard or a semi-enclosed balcony is her absolute happy place.

Flowering Season

Get ready for Bay Road’s famous colour! Expect big, breathtaking mopheads from late spring, putting on a spectacular display right through the warm summer months.

Watering Needs & Drought Tolerance

Like all premium hydrangeas, she loves a refreshing drink and has a low tolerance for drought. Keep the soil beautifully moist with deep, regular watering through the warmer months, especially on hot, dry Melbourne afternoons, then ease right back over winter while she rests. A layer of mulch each year helps keep her roots cool and happy.

Fragrant

The Purple Ball lets her colour do all the talking. She is generally unscented, which makes her a stunning choice to snip and bring indoors! Create a gorgeous table centrepiece without any fragrance clashing with your dinner party spread.

Mature Size

A generous, lush performer, she can reach up to around 2 metres tall and 1.5 metres wide in the garden, and stays more compact when grown in a pot. A light trim after flowering keeps her beautifully shaped and perfectly sized for your space.
