Growing hydrangeas is completely hassle-free. Especially pleasant is the fact that some species can delight with their beautiful flowering several times per season.
Peppermint
Peppermint is a large-leaved two-colored hydrangea native to Japan. During flowering, it amazes with its beauty. Large spherical inflorescences with milky white petals with a longitudinal bright pink or blue stripe. A bright green bush is abundantly covered.
The flowering period is from mid-July to early autumn. The color of the flowers depends on the acidity of the soil. If oxidized with aluminum sulfate, then the pink strip becomes blue in color.
Peppermint is ideal for cultivation in summer cottages, gardens, balconies or terraces. Compositions of Peppermint, perennial flowers and ferns look spectacular.
Endless Summer
Hydrangea Endless Summer was bred by American breeders. The variety is highly resistant to cold weather. Endless Summer pleases with abundant flowering, bright green finely toothed leaves and large spherical inflorescences of different shades – from pale blue to bright pink.
The plant loves the sun, however, at noon, a shadow must fall on the area where Endless Summer grows, otherwise the flowers and leaves may burn. The soil should be moderately moist.
It is preferable to plant this variety in elevated places, otherwise prolonged stagnation of moisture will destroy the root system.
