Hydrangea doesn't like this kind of neighborhood: this is what kills the "queen of the garden"

Hydrangea looks beautiful in any area, so many summer residents and gardeners plant this plant on their land.

Many people don't think about what grows next to the "queen of the garden." But experienced gardeners have pointed out that this is an important nuance.

Hydrangea is oppressed by acacia, which releases substances that are harmful to the shrub.

Birch and linden are also bad neighbors. They take a lot of moisture and nutrients from hydrangea. Exceptions are areas where water stagnation occurs.

Birch, like a pump, pumps out moisture, so hydrangea can grow well in this situation. The plant does not like stagnant water, dampness has a detrimental effect on the "queen of the garden", as does high or low acidity.

Hydrangea does not like onions or garlic growing nearby. Good neighbors for the bush are roses, irises, hosta, astilbe, conifers.

If the right plants grow next to the hydrangea, it will delight you with light green, red, white and blue inflorescences all summer and part of the fall.
