Surely plants don’t need flowers to be beautiful, and that Hydrangea will not be in flower for 8 months of the year, and when not in flower, not the most attractive shrubs.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
There are many plants in my garden that don't have showy flowers and they are indeed beautiful! It's all a matter of personal preference though. Hydrangea paniculata flowers in spring and retains its flowerheads throughout summer and over winter, giving winter interest which I think is also important.
My apologies @punkdoc, looking back at last year's photos, I've been a bit early with my timings. It starts flowering in July, through to October, retaining its flowerheads over winter until March, so about nine months of interest. I planted my first one last year so it was closely scrutinised for garden value!
