Description
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Zorro' is a new vigorous hydrangea, with a summer flowering of blue-violet flat heads and black stems that bring a touch of originality to your acid soil borders.
This Hydrangea forms a large spreading bush, reaching a height of 1.8 m (5.9 m). Its large deciduous leaves, ovate and dark green, measure 20 cm (7.9 in) long on astonishing black stems. From August to October, numerous rounded inflorescences with flat heads (called "lacecap") appear. The umbels consist of pale blue fertile flowers in the centre and blue-violet sterile flowers on the periphery. The Hydrangea macrophylla family flowers on old wood.
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Zorro' requires slightly acidic soil, rich in aluminium sulphate, to maintain its blue-violet colour. Mix peat soil with your garden soil and add aluminium sulphate (slate contains it) as soon as the colour turns pink. It is a hardy bush, easy to grow and requires little maintenance. Be careful of spring frosts that can damage the flower buds.
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Zorro' can be planted in shade or partial shade, sheltered from cold winds. Combine it with other hydrangeas, ferns, dead-nettles or conifers for a beautiful contrast.
Advice: Do not prune too early! Leave the dried inflorescences on the plant and cut them only after spring frosts. They effectively protect the new growth and future flowers.

Planting and care
Plant in spring or autumn in cool, humus-bearing and well-drained soil. It prefers a shaded to semi-shaded exposure. Add aluminium sulphate, in the form of crushed slate or alum, at planting time and when the colour turns pink. A woodland compost is ideal. Mulch the soil with pine bark to retain freshness and acidity. Prune the dried umbels on the plant after the frost to protect the future shoots. Prune one stem out of three every two years to rejuvenate the hydrangea. Please note that flowers only form on old wood!

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.
