Large leaf hydrangea differs in a variety of colors.
Large-leaved hydrangea is distinguished by such a variety of shades that it will appeal to any gardener creating plant color compositions. White, purple, pink, blue, lilac, it can “solo” in landscape design or organically combine with other plants.
Large-leaved varieties are not resistant to frost, so before frost sets in, the plant must be carefully covered or moved to the basement, where the temperature will not drop below zero. Insufficient winter hardiness is due to the fact that flower buds are tied at the ends of last year's shoots. During cold weather, the shoots freeze and the bush does not bloom. According to gardeners, she is more afraid spring frosts. At -5 in the fall the buds do not suffer, but at -5 in the spring they die. True, breeders are working towards giving the plant frost-resistant qualities, in particular, the ability to bloom on the shoots of the current year. This is how the Endless Summer series appeared with flowering on the shoots of the previous and current year, which lasted as long as possible: it begins in June and ends in October.
Shelters for bushes are made in dry weather in late October - early November. One way is to bend the stems to the soil, pin them with hooks or arcs, and cover the bush with covering material and cover it with compost soil or a 10-20 cm layer of peat. Flower buds are located on the tops of the shoots, so they need to be insulated especially carefully. Before bending, do not forget to lay spruce branches or non-woven covering material under the branches. Finally, a sheet of slate or iron is placed on top of the peat layer to keep the bush dry and ventilated.

Young inflorescences can be plucked, thereby giving the root system the opportunity to grow and gain strength before the first winter. In this case, the flower buds will be more complete in the case.
Drip irrigation is preferable for hydrangeas, since the plant is a vessel with water accumulated inside. In a week big bush consumes 20 liters of water, settled or filtered, but not running. It is preferable to use rainwater. The tree trunk circle is regularly mulched to avoid drying out of the upper fertile layer. For this purpose, the remains of tree bark, pine needles, and peat are used.

Sanitary pruning carried out with the onset of spring (before the start of sap flow). Three-year-old branches and those that are frozen are pruned. After the buds have begun to bloom, the branches on which the buds have not bloomed are pruned again. In order to make the bush more magnificent, you should trim the shoots beyond the fifth bud. To completely rejuvenate an adult hydrangea bush, all branches except a small stump are pruned. A lush crown will appear on its own immediately after the onset of spring.
For active and abundant flowering, fertilizers (manure or humus) dissolved in water are applied under the bush three times a month. Excess mineral fertilizers can lead to the inability of the bush to survive frosts. Ash should not be used as a fertilizer.
There are several dozen varieties of hydrangeas, and it is almost impossible to name the exact number, since there are more varieties every year. The bushes are decorated with corymbose or paniculate inflorescences, which are located at the tips of the shoots. Along the edges there are sterile flowers, while fruit-bearing ones are located in the center.

For those who are just planning to decorate the garden with several hydrangea bushes, you should take a little break from choosing varieties, since first you should draw out a detailed plan of what will grow in the allocated area. It is possible to replant hydrangeas over time, but the process is complex and painstaking. Large plants remain, but smaller ones are put on the plan. Each plant should be signed, which will allow you to create the most detailed list possible. Separate places are being prepared for new products. Some species may not fit into the resulting ensemble at all. Help make your choice easier ready-made compositions, which can be placed both among massive flower beds and near coniferous trees.

Types of garden hydrangeas
Often, when talking about hydrangea, we mean a certain variety of it - Hydrángeamacrophylla, or otherwise - large-leaved garden hydrangea. If we consider hydrangeas more broadly, then this family includes more than a hundred different species of this flower. There are even climbing and upright, evergreen and deciduous, tree-like and dwarf, heat-loving and frost-resistant varieties.
To organize a “plot” in the garden wildlife» Petiolate and oak-leaved hydrangeas are suitable, as well as liana-shaped and paniculate types.
Paniculata and tree hydrangea ideal for gardens with a romantic theme in the spirit of a Russian or English home garden.
Large-leaved hydrangea is appropriate in any stylistic decision, and in solemn palace ensemble, and in the natural landscape of a village garden. For different compositions you should choose different varieties.
All recommendations indicating how to care for hydrangea come down to just two actions: fertilizing and pruning the plant. It is this kind of care that is quite sufficient for the beautiful hydrangea to please you with a healthy look and beautiful flowers. But before you start caring for your garden hydrangea, it would be a good idea to plant it.
The propagation process of hydrangea occurs either through green cuttings or by dividing the bush. In spring and summer, you can use non-flowering green tips of shoots; during the cold period, woody cuttings will also work.
Do not forget that hydrangea also has seeds: species plants can be sown in an unheated greenhouse in the spring.
Hydrangea, planting and caring for which is very easy, still requires attention. In mid-latitudes it is better to plant this heat-loving plant in the spring, and in more southern regions in both spring and autumn. Leave about a meter between plants.
It is better to grow hydrangea in the garden on moisture-permeable, structural soils, loamy and flavored with organic matter. The choice of soil is best given to neutral or acidic options. Despite the beautiful pink color, alkaline soils above pH7 are unfavorable for plants, hydrangea begins to experience iron deficiency and becomes ill. Using iron, alum, sulfur or aluminum sulfate, you can play with the color of the plant, achieving a variety of colors: pink, blue, two-colored inflorescences, or even bushes with flowers of both colors.
To eliminate misunderstandings, it is immediately worth noting: garden hydrangea Don't cut at the root! By pruning, to which all varieties of plants respond well, we mean precisely the rejuvenation of shoots.
In mild climates, the procedure for removing old inflorescences should be done not in the fall, but in early spring. It is necessary that pruning of hydrangeas in the spring occurs before the active growing season begins.
First, frozen shoots are cut back to a healthy part of the wood, and weak or excess shoots are completely removed. Annual shoots should be trimmed, leaving about 3-5 buds on them. Old inflorescences are removed down to the first pair of healthy and strong buds.
Those who already have hydrangea in their country house know: this plant needs reliable shelter during cold weather. The flower will survive this period better if the soil is moist in the fall. Hydrangea is very sensitive to any frost, so already in early October it is worth taking care of the shelter.
Hydrangea loves water and needs at least two buckets of water per week. In rainy weather or when using mulch, one watering per month is sufficient.
