Garden hydrangea

Numerous sections of our website contain a lot of information about garden plants that have beautiful shapes, bright flowers and interesting leaves. But a special place among them is occupied by garden hydrangea, whose luxurious flowers can delight the gardener from early spring to late autumn.

The types of hydrangea are varied. Most of them have white flowers, but large-leaved hydrangea allows you to diversify the area with blue, pink, lilac and red shades. Few people know, but the garden hydrangea flower can change color depending on the acidity of the soil. The plant prefers to grow on clay soils and does not tolerate sandstone. A very important soil parameter is the acidity of the soil, since at a neutral pH value the plant will wither. You can increase the pH by adding brown peat, pine soil and sawdust.

In order for garden hydrangea to tolerate propagation well, you should take root shoots, since the side shoots produce too weak plants. Cuttings are carried out from February to May. You can learn about all the nuances of care and cuttings in more detail in this section.
