Hortensia macrophylla

• It is like a living jewel in any garden. With its large, glossy leaves and huge, colorful inflorescences, this hydrangea brings a romantic and fresh air wherever it is planted. Its flowers, like fluffy bouquets, change color depending on the soil - a small natural miracle: delicate pink, mysterious red, or velvety blue.
• It is a generous plant that unfurls its beauty in summer and keeps it for a long time, offering an explosion of color until autumn. Hydrangea loves quiet places where the gentle rays of the sun caress it in the morning, and in the afternoon, it can find shelter in the shade. It likes to be pampered with water and care, and in return, it transforms your garden into a fairytale corner.
• Whether you see it in a rustic arrangement, an English garden, or a large pot on the terrace, Hydrangea macrophylla always brings a feeling of home, peace, and natural beauty.

Main characteristics:

• General appearance:
  • Small to medium-sized shrub, usually 1 to 2 meters tall, but under optimal conditions, it can exceed these dimensions.
• Foliage:
  • The leaves are large, oval to elliptical, with serrated edges and an intense green, giving the plant a rich and luxuriant appearance.
• Flowers:
  • Develop into large globular inflorescences (up to 20-25 cm in diameter).
  • Flower colors vary spectacularly: from white, pink, red, purple to intense blue, depending on the soil pH (acidic soils favor blue flowers, alkaline ones – pink flowers).
• Flowering:
  • Generally from June to September.
• Cultivation requirements:
  
  • Light: Prefers filtered light or partial shade; strong direct sun can burn leaves and flowers.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. Soil pH influences flower color.
  • Watering: Requires regular watering, especially during dry periods, as it quickly suffers from thirst.
  • Pruning: Prune carefully after flowering, as it generally forms flower buds for the following year on old shoots.
• Other interesting information:
  • Hydrangea macrophylla is often used as an ornamental plant in gardens, but also as a cut flower or potted plant.
  • The change in flower color by altering soil acidity is one of the features that makes it fascinating for gardeners.
