One of the decorations of a summer cottage garden is hydrangea; summer residents advise paying attention to its 5 special varieties.
If you believe the reviews, they will bloom until mid-autumn and will also be able to withstand 20-degree frosts.
They grow in slightly acidic soils, moderately shaded areas and, most importantly, do not require special protection from frost.
"Samara Lydia"
This variety begins to bloom in early July and can even change color several times during one season.
Initially, the white petals can become light pink, and in autumn they become more saturated in color, up to crimson. It is considered a frost-resistant plant.
"Strawberry Blossom"
This variety is distinguished by its color range. Several flowers can be white or bright pink. Flowering continues from July to mid-October.
"Vanilla Fraise"
Just like "Samara Lydia" changes color several times during one season. The picture is generally similar (color from white to crimson). The difference between the varieties is that "Fraise" needs to be tied up.
"Phantom"
This bush impresses with its size and can reach two meters in height. Flowering begins in July and ends in early September. The flowers are beige in color, and by the end of the season they become pale pink.
"Polar Bear"
This bush has fairly large flower heads. Flowering occurs from July to mid-autumn. This is the most frost-resistant variety, which can withstand temperatures as low as -25 degrees.
