Garden

Plant of the month

Hydrangea

July is when Hydrangea blooms are at their best.
A vigorous and hardy plant with numerous
varieties, blooms with vibrant colours ranging
from white, pink, purple and blue. Many
varieties, such as the mop-head, have the unique
ability to change colour, adapting to soil type and
environment. The colour change is due to the soil
pH - those with pink or blue flowers tend to be
blue in acid soil and pink in alkaline conditions.
White flowers remain white regardless of soil pH.
Hydrangeas can be planted in borders or
containers but wherever it is planted it will need
copious watering. The name roughly translated
means “water barrel” alluding to the cup-shaped
flowers and need for hydration. Try to use
rainwater to water them since mains water can
affect bloom colour.
