If you've been thinking about adding hydrangea bushes to your garden plant collection, don't worry - there's still time.
However, as noted by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , it is important not just to be on time, but to do everything right.
Otherwise, you simply won’t see active growth and lush flowering of hydrangea.
So, before you go for seedlings, choose a suitable site for the hydrangea. It should be on the southern side, which is flooded with sun for half a day and hidden under delicate partial shade for half a day.
In addition, if the area has a high groundwater table, you will have to abandon the idea of growing a lush and abundantly flowering hydrangea.
The future neighbors of hydrangea are also of no small importance.
The bush will respond favorably to nearby growing hosta, astilbe, peonies, irises and hybrid tea roses.
But according to experienced gardeners, hydrangea will not tolerate proximity to herbs, as well as acacia, garlic and black currant.
