Hortensia - 3 pcs. - Hydrangea paniculata 'Pink Lady' - Height 25-40cm - ⌀9cm

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Pink Lady’ is a very hardy and richly flowering panicle hydrangea, valued for its reliable performance and decorative appearance. It blooms from July to September with large, white, cone-shaped flower clusters that gradually turn a soft pink in autumn, adding seasonal colour to the garden. Even after flowering, the dried blooms retain their ornamental value well into winter and provide structure to borders. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Pink Lady’ is deciduous and fully winter hardy. By pruning this panicle hydrangea every spring, the plant remains more compact and produces a greater number of larger flowers. Under good growing conditions, it can reach a height of up to 200 cm and a width of approximately 150 cm, making it a striking feature in both mixed borders and standalone plantings.

Care
With Hydrangeas, it is important to cut off the spent flowers. In winter, however, these are best left alone. They then form a protection for the new flower buds against frost and inclement winds. In March, when the danger of frost has passed, all brown, old, spent flowers can be pruned back to just above the first or second healthy bud. This type of pruning encourages the growth of new shoots and ensures that flower size does not decline. All types of Hydrangeas absolutely do not like drought. When dry, especially in spring and summer, water them vigorously. It is not wise to water them occasionally. It is best to give them a large amount of water at once. Sometimes during the flowering season, Hydrangeas become a little bare at the bottom. Also, the leaves may turn yellow. This is almost always caused by drought.

Size
The plants have a height of 25 to 40cm upon delivery (measured incl. pot). The plants are supplied in pots with a diameter/diameter of 9cm.
