Botanical characteristics of hydrangea paniculate

The magnificent hydrangea "diamantino", the description of which can be continued indefinitely, is a shrub covered with inflorescences. The height reaches a little more than a meter. The crown has a rounded shape, slightly flared upward.

The diameter of the flower is an average of 23 cm. The inflorescence is visually similar to a panicle with dense and closely adjacent to each other colors.

Over the season, more than once the flowers change their shades. At the beginning of flowering the color of the inflorescence is yellow with salad and golden overflows. Then the flowers become charmingly white. And to the end of their flowering gently pink color.

Hydrangea "diamantino" blooms for a long period of time and is mostly abundant. Flowering begins in mid-June and ends in September. The shoots of the bush are strong, so the garter does not require a plant. Leaves are dark green in color. To the touch a little rough.

Planting and care

First you need to decide on the landing site. It is desirable not only to take into account the design significance of the location, but also the illumination of the site. For a panic hydrangea, the most ideal lighting is the penumbra.

After planting, you need to water the plant abundantly. Watering hydrangeas "diamantino" in general is of great importance. With a long drought, the inflorescence becomes shallow. The best flowering can be achieved by easy pruning. Hortensia is a winter-hardy plant, but it is better to cover young bushes at first.

Soil and fertilizer

Hortensia "diamantino" prefers fertile, mostly moist soil. Before planting, you can make peat or humus. The increased content of lime in the soil will adversely affect the plant.

For the introduction of fertilizers hydrangea will respond with gratitude. But do not get too involved. Feeding is carried out in spring and late autumn. Fertilizers are better to use specially designed for this type of shrubs.

Pruning and reproduction

Periodic pruning of the plant is recommended by experienced gardeners. It provokes the most abundant flowering hydrangeas.

Once in 3 years, the hydrangea needs major pruning. It is necessary completely, under the root, to remove the dead and old branches. Pruning is best done in the spring. If the trimming technique is violated, some inflorescences may not blossom. It is recommended to leave 3-4 buds on the branch in autumn.

You can propagate a hydrangea in several ways:

• Layering;
• Cuttings;
• Division of the bush.

The latter method is the easiest and most common. You can divide the bush in spring and autumn. It is necessary to dig it and divide it into several parts. Each part is planted as an independent plant.

It is also easy to breed hydrangeas. A young band at the base is buried in the ground and fixed. The next year the brood will give a root, and it can be transplanted.

Cuttings reproduction is more complicated. It is necessary to prepare the cuttings in the early spring. The cut is made at a right angle. The leaves are completely removed from below. Cuttings need to create hothouse conditions until they become fully rooted.
