Description

Hydrangea Rebellion® ‘Pistachio Love’ will flower even after a very cold winter. It is adorned with round inflorescences that evolve from pistachio green to raspberry red over the summer. This compact and well-branched shrub is suitable for small gardens and for growing in large pots with its rich colour palette and very robust nature. In partial shade, it provides a strong visual impact throughout the summer.

Hydrangea macrophylla is a botanical species native to East Asia (China and Japan) belonging to the Hydrangeaceae family. 'Pistachio Love' is a cultivar from the Rebellion® range, a series of compact, hardy and floriferous varieties that flower even in harsh climates. Marketed in several Central European countries — such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland or Hungary — these hydrangeas are charming with their colourful, often evolving flowering and their ability to produce flowers on spring shoots.
Hydrangea ‘Pistachio Love’ is a well-branched deciduous shrub with a generally rounded and relatively compact habit. It reaches up to 1.50m in height and about 80cm in width at maturity. From June to September, it produces beautiful spherical inflorescences, composed of many, tightly packed, simple sterile florets. They open in a bright pistachio green, then evolve into a mix of raspberry pink and purple, with touches of warm orange and wine red at the end of the season. The different flowering stages can coexist on the same plant, giving a variegated and changing effect throughout the summer. Flowering occurs both on the previous year's shoots and on new growth. The foliage is dense, decorative and deciduous: it falls in autumn and regrows in spring. The dark green leaves are heart-shaped to ovate, with a rounded base and tapered tip, toothed on the edges. They measure between 10 and 15 cm.

Hydrangea macrophylla Rebellion® 'Pistachio Love' adds an original and sophisticated touch to shaded and cool garden scenes. It can be used as a back-of-border plant or in a flowering hedge, but is also well-suited to growing in a container on a sheltered terrace or a partially shaded balcony. To complement its colour palette, pair it with heucheras with caramel or plum foliage (‘Heuchera villosa 'Caramel').

Planting and care

Plant Hydrangea macrophylla 'Rebellion Pistachio Love' in spring or early autumn, preferably in a shaded position, for example against an east-facing wall. It tolerates morning sun well. Place it sheltered from cold and drying winds. It does not necessarily need acidic soil, but appreciates a deep, moist but well-drained, fairly fertile soil, possibly enriched with a good fertiliser before planting. If the soil is dry at the foot of the wall, place the root ball at least 30 or 40 cm from the base and incorporate well-rotted compost to better retain moisture in the soil. It is very hardy, capable of flowering on the current year's shoots, and suitable for very cold regions.
