Hydrangea macrophylla So Long Rosy

The 'So Long Rosy' is a new hybrid hydrangea series that combines the best qualities of its parent plants. This plant can resist cold weather and bloom on the current year's wood. It has beautiful inflorescences that shift from soft pink to chartreuse green. It blooms early and continually throughout the summer despite rain with well-coloured flowers. Its semi-spherical flower heads gradually evolve from pale pink to chartreuse green. The plant is not too big, compact, and well-branched, making it easy to fit in a small garden or container on the terrace. It grows best in semi-shade.

Hydrangea serrata are plants that thrive in cool and humid mountainous regions and are resistant to cold temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). They are less affected by late frosts compared to their large-leaved counterparts, all of which belong to the Hydrangeaceae family. The 'So Long Rosy' hortensia is a very bushy plant that can grow up to 1.10 m (3 ft 7 in) in height and 80 cm (31.5 in) in width, depending on the cultivation conditions. It starts to flower at a young age, and its hemispherical panicles, about 13 cm (5.1 in) wide, bloom from June. If the plant is pruned slightly after the first flowering, it will form new flowers during summer. This hydrangea has large, medium-green, ovate leaves with a dentate border, which fall in autumn. It's worth noting that hydrangeas are sturdy plants that can survive for at least 50 years.

Hydrangea So Long Rosy is the perfect plant for adding a romantic touch to your garden. This plant thrives in fresh soils and semi-shaded areas, making it perfect for placing near the house, on the terrace, or near the entrance. You can also place it on the east or west side, as long as it is not in direct sunlight. Even if they are not fond of limestone, hydrangeas are not strictly ericaceous plants, they like humus-rich, fertile and fresh soils. Pair them with other plants such as fuchsias magellanica, annual impatiens, lilies, Pieris, Sarcococca, or plant spring-flowering bulbs in front of their round shape. You can admire their beautiful and long-lasting flowers in your garden or even indoors. Their dried flowers look great in bouquets, so don't be too quick to put them on the compost heap after they have bloomed.
