Description
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Julisa', with very vibrant colours, is a beautiful improvement of the variety 'Merveille sanguinea' which until now was the best known for dark foliage. This new hydrangea shows faster and more regular growth than its older sibling and displays vegetation that highlights red tones. Its young, purple foliage turns intensely green in summer before taking on autumn leaf colours. Its robust and erect branches bear large inflorescences in bright carmine red, throughout the summer. It is a beautifully coloured bush, with a harmonious habit, equally at ease in a flowerbed or in a large pot on the terrace.
The 'Hydrangea macrophylla 'Julisa', recently obtained in France, is one of the many hybrids obtained through the cross-breeding of well-hardy species belonging to the hydrangea family, native to China and Japan. This ramified and compact bush has a rather rounded and regular habit. It will reach an average size of 1m (3 to 4ft) in all directions. In summer, its small fertile and sterile flowers form round inflorescences of beautiful size, carmine in colour, turning purple in autumn. They are carried by strong, erect stems. The flowering is accompanied by particularly dark green foliage in summer, tinged with purple shades. The leaves are marked with deep veins. They turn magnificent flamboyant shades of red in autumn before falling. The leaves are opposite, reaching a minimum length of 10cm (3.9in) They are simple, ovate to elliptical, ending in a tapering point, strongly toothed like a saw. Hydrangeas can live for at least 50 years.
The 'Julisa' Hydrangea has excellent hardiness and a unique personality. Its intense colours tolerate brighter exposures with morning sun. Its association with white hydrangeas is particularly flattering, as the colours enhance each other. Hydrangeas are well known for brightening up the north side of houses. This one will thrive in a non-scorching east or west exposure, in flowerbeds as well as hedges. This variety is suitable for cultivation in open ground or in containers, which can be placed on the terrace or near the entrance. Although these plants dislike lime, they are not strictly ericaceous plants. Pair 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.
Note: The colour of hydrangea macrophylla flowers varies depending on the soil pH. Traditionally blue varieties turn pink in neutral or alkaline soil. To maintain a beautiful blue colour, mix ericaceous soil into your garden soil and apply aluminum sulfate (slate contains it) or alum stone every spring.

Planting and care
Plant Hydrangea macrophylla 'Julisa' in spring or early autumn, preferably in a slightly shaded position, in the morning sun, against an east-facing wall, or even north. Protect it from cold, drying winds. It does not require acid soil, it will prefer a deep, moist, well-drained, fairly fertile soil, possibly enriched with a good basal fertilizer before planting. If the soil is dry at the base of the wall, place the root ball at least 30-40cm (11.8 - 15.7in) away 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 fear. As for pruning, remove faded flowers to the first bud pair of buds directly below. Cut the oldest stems back to one-quarter or one-third at the base when the plant is mature, to encourage the formation of new shoots. Carry out this pruning every year in 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.
