Lavender Hydrangea

Hydrangeas are an outdoor plant that can be found in many regions of the world. They are a popular choice for landscaping and gardening due to their beauty and versatility. These leafy plants can grow up to 2 meters tall and bloom during the summer and autumn months, with abundant clusters of ball-shaped flowers that can reach 30 cm in diameter. The color of their flowers is influenced by the pH of the soil: in more acidic soils, the flowers tend to be blue, while in alkaline soils, they tend to be pink.

Originating from East and South Asia, Hydrangea macrophylla is a perfect plant for gardens, flowerbeds and pots. In some cultures it is associated with gratitude, generosity and abundance. It is a good gift to express gratitude and affection.

Hydrangea means "water drinker", so this plant needs abundant and frequent watering, especially in dry periods, to keep the soil moist. It is a hardy and easy-care plant that requires direct sun or partial shade.

Pruning is very important for the correct growth and development of the Hydrangea. It should be done every year in late winter or early spring, before the start of the new growing season.
