2. Stalling. After trimming, branches that have from 3 to 5 knots are taken. Put them for a few days in water solution weak manganese. Before falling into the ground, the lower sections are treated with a growth stimulator. The shoots planted in advance prepared soil, deepening on 2/3 of length. You can crop cuttings from green shoots and land in pots. Capacities are covered polyethylene film To create a greenhouse effect.

The soil for planting cuttings is prepared from a mixture of 2 parts of the peat and 1 part of the sand. Peat poured onto the bottom of the container, and on it sand. The cuttings are inserted so that it does not take the bottom layer.

Pots with lined shoots put in the basement, regularly moisturizes the soil. In the spring, young shoots appear on the cuttings, after that planted on permanent place Growing.

Tree hydrangea varieties with description and photo

The gardeners have the greatest demand for such varieties of tree hydrangea:

The volume is impressive - can reach 3 meters. Flowers all three year old months. Under the weight of flowers, stems, over time, lean towards the ground. The feature of the variety to pay attention is that the initial color of foliage does not change until the very onset of the first cold.

The highlight of the variety of incredibly is large size flowers in inflorescence. But I like the gardeners this variety by changing the original color of the petals, with time, with a green on white-white. The adult plant bush reaches up to 1.5 - 3 m in height. The stalks of the plant are not strong enough. Therefore, when hydrangea blooms, they are lowered to the ground under the weight of large inflorescences that can be in diameter up to 30 cm.

Sort Invinsibelle - as a "dark horse" among other varieties. The inflorescences of this hydrangea have a dark pink shade, and their form, like lilac branches. But, under the influence of the Sun, the inflorescences are saturated with color, and become a gentle pink color.

Visiting the garden exhibitions, often had to hear such a conversation:

Is it what is your hydrangea?

Whiteline.

And ... I already have it.

And not a word about the name of the variety, about the form of inflorescences! Many do not even suspect that there are varieties. If you ask how it looks, answer: "This is so white, with elongated infloresions. Here is a garden hydrangea that is another matter. She has pink, and blue, and two-color varieties ..." It's a shame that the gardeners are so little attention to " White "hydrangea. And the pitcher deserves a special relationship. She has a lot of varieties, and the painting is constantly changing. And in any appearance, it is beautiful.

What is she?

Miscellaneous hydrangea (Hydrangea Paniculata Sieb.) It is a shrub or a small village to 10 m high. Crown is thick, rounded, egg-shaped leaves up to 12 cm long. Flowers in long wide-frame risels up to 25 cm long.

Blossom continues from late June to October. The hydrangea is growing fast, frost-resistant, relatively unpretentious.

Why compare?

Hydrangea has a lot of varieties. They differ in inflorescences, their density, the number of sterile flowers. And, in addition, the difference in shades, both at the beginning of flowering and at the end.

Most gardeners prefer varieties with large, dense inflorescences, in which there are almost no fluttering flowers. They like these snow caps. Compared with these varieties, others seem like "chili, uninteresting."

But, merry, why compare! Take a look at the quality of varieties to a friend. They are all beautiful.

The connoisseurs of hydrangeas are talking about the colors not "chilly", but elegant. They can consider each flower. The charm of these varieties is their airiness, ease. Small flutting flowers resemble lace, and large sterile moths faded on them.

"Motilla" varieties fit well into a natural style, because they do not get out of the overall picture too large, bright colors (photo 4).

Popular varieties

Sometimes in the description of varieties they are divided into moth, green-colorful, pink. The division is very conditional, as well as the name of the groups themselves. It should also be aware that the saturation of the color depends on the conditions of cultivation, in particular on the illumination and acidity of the soil.

Pink varieties

Vanilla Fraise. This variety received the highest award at the Innovert competition in 2007. And so far this hydrangea is considered one of the best. She deserved such a high rating for large, lush inflorescences, which have a very beautiful and gentle combination of tones: from white to netorious.

Also, the following varieties can be attributed to Motalka: Pink Diamond, Pink Lady, Last Post, Magical Starlight, etc. They are distinguished by the number of sterile flowers (those of the most "moths" lying on the inflorescence).

Some varieties have sterile flowers so large that it is no longer a moth, but real butterflies. And at the WHITE LADY variety on the petals of elegant teeth.

Very original grade Great Star (photo 9). Pouring flowers fluffy due to long stamens, and sterile is very large. Four petals are screwed and reminiscent of the propeller, and the swap "blades" to 7 cm (separate instances up to 10 cm!).

Fragrant hydrangea?

The catalogs indicate that some of the hydrangea varieties have an aroma. In particular, this characteristic is in the description of Matilda varieties, Kiucha, Junik. However, many gardeners argue that they do not feel the smell. They explain this by those who were sold to the fake, or in the catalogs embellish the varieties in order to make it easier to sell them.

In fact, the fragrance of the flower largely depends on the climate and cultivation conditions. So many flowers smell stronger in the sun and in warm weather. Remember how the southern gardens are fragrant. In the shadow, the smell becomes less distinct. In the middle strip of Russia by the end of summer and in the fall, the air is usually cool and very wet. It is likely that this affects the aroma of hydrangea.

And all the same, some varieties are really fragrant, for example, WIM "S Red.

WIM variety "S Red was brought by the breeder WIM Rutten and immediately became world sensation. This variety has a very large complision (up to 35 cm long) with a chant aroma of honey. But this is not all its advantages. The variety is characterized by a very long flowering period. In summer, inflorescences are white, then become pink, and in September, a saturated burglar grade is acquired.

Silver Cap Monomakh ...

All good hydrangea, but sometimes the stems are running away, and the inflorescences are looking down (photo 11). As a rule, this disadvantage has a variety of dense inflorescences. "Motillas" almost do not suffer from him. There are several techniques that will help cope with this problem.

First of all, you need to comply with the requirements of hydrangea. This will allow you to grow healthy plants With durable stems.

Hydrangea loves water very much, and when weak it is developing weak shoots. Soil should always be wet. To reduce evaporation, mulch the soil or squeeze under the crown of the bush soil plants.

The place should be bright, but better reservoir than a direct sun. In the open place, do not forget the hydrangea more often to water.

The soil is loose, fertile, preferably with an acidic reaction. Tight clay must be disappeared. To do this, add sand and sawdust.

If the soil lacks the acidity, the hydrangea is dull leaves, thin stems and minor inflorescences. At the landing of a riding peat or at least mulch them a rolling circle. Zola, lime, chalk and other deoxidizers for hydrangea are contraindicated.

Also, hydrangea needs pruning. Misseling hydrangea can be trimmed in autumn. But experienced gardeners advise to postpone it until spring. In April, before the awakening of the kidneys, the stems are shortened by about 1/3 of length. All weak and thickening shoots cut out. Strong trimming stimulates powerful growth. The less shoots will remain, the more thicker and stronger. Such stems can withstand heavy hats without garter.
