Description
L'Hydrangea aspera Villosa est un hortensia apprécié autant pour son feuillage que pour sa floraison. Ses grandes feuilles étroites, mates et veloutées, aussi douces au toucher qu'au regard, le distinguent nettement des hortensias à grosses têtes rondes. En été, il s'orne d'inflorescences plates évoquant des ombelles au cœur violet pourpré entouré d'une couronne de fleurons rose lilacé à blanchâtres. Son port ample et bien ramifié et sa floraison prolongée font de lui un bel arbuste de lisière, à installer en lumière tamisée dans une terre qui reste fraîche.
Cet hortensia caduc appartient à la famille des Hydrangéacées. Le nom Villosa désigne en réalité un groupe horticole et non un cultivar. Les plantes longtemps appelées Hydrangea villosa sont aujourd’hui rattachées à l'Hydrangea aspera, tandis que le nom Villosa Group utilisé en horticulture sert à distinguer des formes originaires de l’ouest de la Chine, notamment du Sichuan et du Hubei. La plupart des lignées cultivées en Europe descendent des collectes réalisées par Ernest Henry Wilson en 1908. Dans leur aire d’origine, ces hydrangéas poussent en forêt ; au jardin, ils apprécient donc une lumière filtrée et une atmosphère fraîche. L’arbuste développe plusieurs tiges depuis la base et forme avec l’âge un buisson dressé, ramifié et assez dense, de 2 à 2,50 m de hauteur pour 1,50 à 2,50 m d’envergure. Les jeunes rameaux et les pétioles sont eux aussi velus. Les feuilles opposées, elliptiques à lancéolées, mesurent 10 à 20 cm de long. Leur revers est couvert de poils blanchâtres auxquels se mêlent, sur les nervures principales, des poils plus longs ; c’est cette pilosité qui donne au feuillage son toucher caractéristique. Ces feuilles sont vert moyen à vert foncé et tombent en automne. De juillet à septembre paraissent à l’extrémité des rameaux des corymbes plats ou légèrement bombés, larges de 15 à 20 cm. Les petites fleurs fertiles du centre sont violettes, bleu violacé ou pourprées ; elles sont entourées de fleurons stériles plus grands, lilas, rose pâle à blanchâtres. Ces fleurons périphériques peuvent atteindre 3 à 4 cm de diamètre et dessinent une couronne autour du cœur fertile. Le groupe Villosa est rustique jusqu’à -15 °C. Une terre profonde, humifère, fraîche et drainée convient, de préférence acide à neutre.
Installez-le en lisière de sous-bois, en fond de massif, sous de grands arbres ou près d'un mur ombragé de la maison, dans une ambiance fraîche, en mélange avec d'autres hortensias d'ombre, des hostas, des azalées du Japon, des Pieris et des Thalictrums. Il forme de belles associations avec le Fothergilla major, l’Enkianthus campanulatus, le Clethra alnifolia ‘Pink Spire’ ou le Viburnum plicatum ‘Mariesii’.

Planting and care
The Hydrangea aspera Villosa is planted in autumn or spring, when no frost is expected, in partial shade. In regions with cool summers, it tolerates more sun if the soil remains moist; in slightly warmer climates, avoid the afternoon sun. Prepare a wide planting hole and loosen the soil deeply. Incorporate well-rotted compost or leaf mould into poor soils to increase their humus content and their ability to retain moisture. The soil should remain moist, but water must not stagnate around the roots. Water regularly during the first two years and in dry periods; an organic mulch limits soil warming and evaporation.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
