Description
The Hortensia or Hydrangea macrophylla 'Angelic' is part of a series of recent French creations, each more original than the other, ideal for personalising your decor, both in the garden and indoors. This one has an elegant and surprising flowering, reminiscent of that of a white Kalanchoe 'Calandiva', due to the arrangement of its small semi-double flowers, grouped in small bouquets on a flattened head. The abundant flowering in June-July is set against a large, serrated foliage of dark green. This uniquely styled hydrangea is a decoration for small well-kept gardens, terraces, and balconies, but also for a well-lit living room.
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Angelic' is the result of the cross-breeding of the species H. macrophylla and H. serrata, among others. All these hardy plants belong to the hydrangea family, and originate from China and Japan. 'Angelic' is part of a series of cultivars selected for their sturdy stems, floribundity, and their ability to be grown in the ground as well as indoors. This bush has a compact, rounded, regular, and elegant habit. It reaches a height of about 1m (3 ft 4 in) in all directions at maturity, with a moderate growth rate. Its flowering is quite early, from the month of June, in the form of very compact domed medium sized flower heads (10 to 12 cm (3.9 to 4.7 in)). They are composed of many semi-double flowers that open in a pale green shade, then fade to white-cream at maturity. The flowering extends over a deciduous glossy dark green foliage. The leaves, very wide, are opposite, reaching a minimum length of about ten centimetres. They are simple, oval-shaped, ending in a pointed tip, coarsely toothed like a saw. Hydrangeas can live for at least 50 years.
The 'Angelic' Hydrangea is a surprising, unusual, and generous hydrangea that can be showcased in the garden, on the terrace, or in the house. Hydrangeas are well known for brightening the north side of houses. This one will thrive in a non-scorching east or west exposure, in full sun or partial shade, in flower beds as well as on its own. This variety is particularly suitable for container cultivation, which can be placed in a beautiful pot or near the entrance of a house. Although these plants do not tolerate limestone, they are not strictly ericaceous plants. Mix them with Magellan fuchsias, annual impatiens, or plant spring-flowering bulbs in front of their round silhouette. Enjoy their sumptuous flowering for a long time in the garden or in the house.

Planting and care
Plant the Angelique hydrangea macrophylla in spring or early autumn, preferably in a slightly shaded location, for example against an east-facing wall, or even north-facing. In very cold regions, it may be wise to overwinter it in a cold greenhouse or in the veranda, even though it can withstand -15°C (5 °F). Protect it from cold and drying winds. It does not require acidic soil, but appreciates a deep, moist but well-drained, fairly fertile soil, possibly enriched with a good base fertiliser before planting. If the soil is dry at the base of the wall, plant the root ball at least 30-40 cm (11.8-15.7 in) away from the base of the wall and incorporate a quantity of well-rotted compost to better retain moisture in the soil. Very hardy, it can be planted in cold regions without problem. As for pruning, remove faded flowers on the first bud or on the pair of buds directly below. Cut back to the base by a quarter or a third the oldest stems, when the plant is mature, to promote the formation of new shoots. Carry out this pruning every year during the months of March and April.

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.
