{"title":"Hydrangeas — Hydrangea","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHydrangeas — Hydrangea: Flowering Shrubs for Balcony, Terrace, and Garden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrangea\u003c\/strong\u003e, commonly called hydrangea, is one of the most popular flowering shrubs for dressing up outdoor spaces. The genus includes about forty species native to \u003cstrong\u003eEast Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e (Japan, China, Korea) and a few from North America, such as Hydrangea arborescens. The varieties cultivated today are mainly European horticultural selections derived from \u003cem\u003eHydrangea macrophylla\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003earborescens\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003epaniculata\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eserrata\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eHydrangea petiolaris\u003c\/em\u003e, chosen for their abundant blooms and variety of colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hydrangea produces large spherical, conical, or flat (\"lacecap\") inflorescences from June to October, in a palette ranging from pure white to pink, intense blue to purple depending on the variety and soil pH. Its very hardy nature (down to -20 °C for most species), compact shrub or climbing habit, and suitability for pot culture make it a staple for \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/balcons-terrasses\"\u003ebalconies and terraces\u003c\/a\u003e, as well as garden beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBall, panicle, lacecap, or climbing hydrangea: choosing the right variety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Verdeia collection brings together several major hydrangea groups, each with its own growth habit and flowering style. \u003cstrong\u003eHydrangea macrophylla\u003c\/strong\u003e produces the classic blue, pink, or white flower balls that have made Brittany hydrangeas famous. \u003cstrong\u003eHydrangea arborescens\u003c\/strong\u003e, including the famous cultivars 'Annabelle' and 'Strong Annabelle'®, produces globular inflorescences up to 30 cm in diameter on a very hardy compact shrub. \u003cstrong\u003eHydrangea serrata\u003c\/strong\u003e, like 'Pink Petticoat'®, is admired for its more delicate flat inflorescences, perfect for a Japanese-inspired style. \u003cstrong\u003eHydrangea Teller\u003c\/strong\u003e, with lacecap flowers, offers a refined contrast between sterile peripheral flowers and fertile central flowers. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003eHydrangea petiolaris\u003c\/strong\u003e is a self-clinging climbing species, ideal for dressing a shaded wall or tree trunk — a valuable asset in the range of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/grimpantes-couvre-sol\"\u003eclimbing and groundcover plants\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanting, exposure, and care of hydrangeas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHydrangeas prefer a \u003cstrong\u003epartially shaded\u003c\/strong\u003e exposure, sheltered from the scorching sun of summer afternoons. A cool, humus-rich, and slightly acidic soil suits them perfectly — in fact, the acidity of the substrate determines the blue coloration of macrophylla, while neutral to calcareous soil turns the flowers pink. In a pot, a mix of ericaceous soil and planting compost maintains an appropriate pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWatering should be regular and generous, especially in summer: the word \u003cem\u003ehydrangea\u003c\/em\u003e comes from the Greek \u003cem\u003ehydōr\u003c\/em\u003e (\"water\"), and the plant does not tolerate prolonged drought. Mulching at the base (bark, flax, dead leaves) limits evaporation and nourishes the soil. Pruning is done in late winter: cut back flowering stems above the first pair of healthy buds for macrophylla and serrata, more severely for arborescens and paniculata which bloom on new wood. For more on leaf health, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/conseils\/feuilles-jaunes-5-causes-et-solutions\"\u003ecauses of yellow leaves\u003c\/a\u003e provide the right responses to the most common symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHydrangeas in pot: balcony, terrace, and flowered entrance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHydrangeas adapt remarkably well to pot culture, provided you choose a container at least 40 cm in diameter with good drainage. On a partially shaded balcony or a northeast-facing terrace, a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Curly Wurly' or 'Strong Annabelle'® offers spectacular floral presence from June to September.

Picked late in the season when petals take on a papery texture, they fit into long-lasting indoor plant arrangements.
