Description
The Tea Time Bavaria Hydrangea is a plant in the Tea Time series. It is an excellent choice for pot cultivation as it has a compact habit and neat appearance. The plant blooms long during summer with bicolour blue flowers bordered by white, slowly changing into white porcelain colours. The plant's foliage is dark green and has beautiful and dense pompoms, making it look refreshing and pleasant. Its appearance is well-organised and is accompanied by well-ramified vegetation.
The Hydrangea macrophylla Tea Time Bavaria is a type of plant created by cross-breeding different species of the Hydrangeaceae family, which are initially from China and Japan. 'Bavaria' is one of a series of cultivars known for their low and ramified growth, strong floral peduncles, and lovely colours resembling English porcelain. This bush is no larger than 70 cm (27.6 in) in any direction and produces bicolour pompoms of medium size from June to September, composed of numerous sky blue florets (or pink in neutral soil) and are surrounded by white. They are small and have a striking dimorphism. The fertile and sterile flowers slowly evolve into white, then fade into a texture that looks like paper. The bush's dark green, deciduous foliage accompanies the flowering, and the leaves are opposite, single, and ovate to elliptical, with a pointed tip and saw-toothed edge. Hydrangeas can live for at least 50 years.
The Tea Time Bavaria Hydrangea is a perfect choice for decorating terraces and balconies and for use as a cut flower. Hydrangeas are well known for their brightening effect on the north side of houses, but this particular hydrangea can also thrive in an east or west exposure that is not too harsh. It can be used in massifs as well as in high borders. Although these plants are not strictly ericaceous, they do not tolerate limestone well. Pair them with fuchsia magellanica, annual impatiens, or plant spring-flowering bulbs in front of their round silhouette. Enjoy their sumptuous flowering in the garden or the house for a long time.
Also, remember that the colour of the flowers of Hydrangea macrophylla varies based on the soil's pH level. If you want to maintain a beautiful blue colour, mix ericaceous soil with your garden soil and apply aluminium sulphate (which can be found in slate) or alum stone every year in the spring. Traditionally, blue varieties will turn pink in neutral or alkaline soil.

Planting and care
To plant the Hydrangea macrophylla Tea Time Bavaria, choose a slightly shaded location such as an east-facing wall or a north-facing spot. Shield the plant from cold and drying winds. You don't need heathland soil, but the plant thrives in deep, fresh, well-drained, and reasonably fertile soil enriched with fertiliser before planting. If the soil is dry at the foot of the wall, plant the root ball at least 30-40 cm (11.8-15.7 in) from the wall's base and mix in plenty of well-decomposed compost to retain moisture. The Hydrangea macrophylla Tea Time Bavaria is hardy and can withstand cold regions. To prune, remove the faded flowers on the first bud or on the pair of buds below. Cut back a quarter or a third of the oldest stems of the mature plant to promote the formation of young shoots. Prune every year in 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.
