Characteristics of Hydrangea 'Princess Diana'

• Height and habit:

  • A compact shrub reaching a height of 1–1.2 meters and a similar width. It forms an elegant, spherical habit.

• Flowers:

  • Large, spherical inflorescences with a diameter of 15–20 cm.
  • The colour of the flowers depends on the pH of the soil: pink on alkaline soil and blue on acidic soil.
  • It blooms from June to September, and sometimes longer, bringing a distinct color accent to the garden.

• Leaves:

  • Large, elliptical, dark green that contrasts beautifully with colorful flowers.

Growing conditions

• Position:

  • It prefers semi-shaded places, where it is protected from the harsh midday sun. In full sun, it requires more frequent watering.

• Soil:

  • Humus, moist, but well permeable.
  • The acidic pH of the soil (pH 4.5–5.5) is conducive to the blue colour of the flowers. In neutral or alkaline soils, the flowers will be pink.

• Watering:

  • Regular watering, especially during periods of drought. The soil should be constantly slightly moist.

• Frost resistance:

  • Frost-hardy (zone 6–9), but in colder regions it is worth protecting the base of the plant from severe frosts.

Care

• Pruning:

  • In spring, remove faded inflorescences and dead shoots. Flowers appear on last year's shoots, so avoid too strong pruning.

• Fertilization:

  • In spring, it is worth applying a fertilizer to hydrangeas or acidophilic plants to strengthen the plant and promote flowering.

• Mulching:

  • Pine bark or sawdust mulch helps to keep the soil moist and provides the right level of acidity.
