Characteristics

• Habit and Size:
  A compact, dense shrub with a slightly rounded habit. It reaches a height and width of 80 cm to 1.2 m, which makes it ideal for smaller gardens and beds.

  Flat inflorescences, composed of small fertile flowers in the center and larger sterile flowers at the edges. The colour of the flowers varies depending on the pH of the soil: from blue on acidic soils to pink on alkaline soils. It blooms from June to September.

Growing conditions

• Position:
  It grows best in partial shade, but can also tolerate sunny positions, provided that the soil is sufficiently moistened.

• Soil:
  Fertile, humus, well-drained and moderately moist soils. The pH of the soil affects the color of flowers:

  • Inert or alkaline: Pink flowers.

• Watering:
  Regular, especially during periods of drought. The soil should be constantly moist, but not waterlogged.

• Frost resistance:
  Frost-resistant (zone 5–7), but in harsh winters it is worth covering young shrubs with agrotextile.

Care

• Trimming:
  In early spring, dead and damaged shoots are removed. Old inflorescences can be pruned after winter. Hydrangea serrated blooms on last year's shoots, so avoid strong pruning, which can limit flowering.

• Fertilization:
  During the growing season, it is worth using fertilizers dedicated to hydrangeas, especially those affecting the intensity of the flower color.

  A layer of bark or compost mulch helps to keep the soil moist and protects the roots from temperature fluctuations.
