If your garden lacks a magnificent and at the same time a gentle stroke, decorate the territory with a beautifully flowering shrub - a hydrangea with a panic "Pink Lady", or "Pink Lady". Having once seen unusually spectacular flashes of flowering, they can not be forgotten.
Hydrangea panicle "Pink Lady" - description
The adult plant bush reaches about two meters in height. The sprawling crown of the bush has a lush, expanding, fan-shaped form. Long branches of Hydrangea panicle "Pink Lady" are covered with large elongated leaves with finely toothed edges. But the main advantage of hydrangeas of this variety is a long flowering, which begins from the second half of July and lasts until the onset of frost. Shrub shoots dot the large inflorescences of diameters up to 15-25 cm.
At first, the hydrangea of the panicle variety "Pink Lady" is dotted with inflorescences-white whiskers. Over time, they mature and acquire a delicate pinkish color.
Hydrangea panicle "Pink Lady" - planting and care
To plant the seedlings select a bright place, protected from drafts and wind. If there is not enough space on the site, a penumbra is suitable. The "Pink Lady" variety prefers fertile and light soils, preferably with a neutral or acid reaction. Lime soils for hydrangea paniculate do not fit, in such areas bushes wilt and do not bloom.
In general, to care the variety is not whimsical. Like all hydrangeas, shrubs need weeding, loosening the soil, fertilizing fertilizers and frequent watering, without which flowering does not occur. In early spring, the bush is subjected to a haircut, removing the frozen or dry branches from it.
Since the brand "Pink Lady" has high frost resistance, shelter for the winter is not required. But if in your region you predict winters without snow and with severe frost, in this case, you can not do without additional training measures.
