Description of the hydrangea of the panicle "Levan"
This fast-growing shrub can reach a height of more than three meters and from July to October decorate the garden with abundant flowering. Inflorescences of the plant have the form of a cone up to 50 cm long, and the color varies from white to cream. Flowers hydrangeas in shape resemble butterfly wings and on average have a diameter of 5 cm. The plant is characterized by a large, thick and spreading crown and powerful, persistent shoots that do not require a garter. The leaves are large, bright green, which, with the advent of autumn, change it to purple. The sort of hydrangea "Levan" requires frequent watering, as it does not tolerate a drought. The soil loves sour, with a small amount of lime, so many gardeners increase its acidity by artificial means.
Not bad endures penumbra, but prefers sunny places. Hydrangea Levan is often found in landscape design due to its frost resistance. Early spring is an ideal time to form the crown, when all the frozen and weak shoots are removed, as well as dry inflorescences to a well-formed node. Reproduction of the hydrangea by the panicle "Levan" is carried out by layers, seeds and cuttings. The first method is characterized by low productivity, although it is quite difficult to grow a plant from seeds and cuttings. The seeds are sown in March, and the cuttings are produced in the summer, from about mid-June to mid-July. For this, a drained nutrient substrate consisting of peat, river sand and turf ground is used.
