Hydrangea Mariesii

Hydrangea macrophylla Mariesii

Hydrangea macrophylla Mariesii is a stunning variety that features large and showy, light- and dark-blue flower heads. The flowers comprise open flowers that surround lighter coloured florets. These are borne from summer through autumn and sit above the mid-green foliage. It grows as a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with a rounded form to about 1.5 m tall and the same wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Best growth is achieved in a full sun or partial shade position on a well-drained, sheltered site with a slightly acidic soil. This Hydrangea is hardy to cool climates, frost, and short periods of dry. Hydrangea macrophylla Mariesii is a great variety for adding to a mixed planting, maintaining in a container, including in a cottage garden, or for planting around an outdoor living area.
