Latin: Hydrangea macrophylla 'Blushing Bride'
Swedish: Hortensia Endless Summer The Bride
English: Blushing Bride Hydrangea
This plant is really neat even though its little brother is somewhat more special. It has though the same issues with brown flowers. I believe it has some issues with rain.
Bought this plant on Sunday 22/5-2011 at Blomstertorget in Linköping. We were though able to plant it today, Tuesday 31/5-2011 only as the garden makeover took much longer than planned. Today the sour flower bed was kind of finished. We planted it into something that was supposedly peat, which is what hydrangea should get as far as I understood. As I did not trust the guy that delivered the "peat" or whatever he called peat, we actually had a drive to Plantagen and purchased a bag of good quality peat to have in the vicinity of the roots... Better safe than sorry...
The plant looked in reality more "limish" than white really, but it was pretty neat. It was unfortunately hit hard by some very cold night, and it looked a little sad, but that did not stop us from buying it anyways. Worst case scenario, we can cut the flowers.
Height: top point 38cm (6/6-2011)
Note: 6/6-2011 - after a week or so from planting it, it looks rather sad... :O( Flowers are kind of dried on... Will try cutting them if they do not get better
Note: On the 27/7-2011 - gave the plant a sprincle of rhododendron fertilizer. Let us see if it helps
Producer's Description
The only hydrangea that blooms the whole Summer! The Endless Summer Collection impresses by remarkable winter hardyness and untiring floweriness. Fresh buds change continually into large ball-shaped flowers until late automn.
The Bride has pure white flowers that gradually take a sweet pink blush. Ideally suited for ornament tubs, shrub borders and floral arrangements.
Flowering time: Blooms the whole summer even to late autumn
Instructions
Cutting: Remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms; in winter keep old buds to protect the plant against frost; do not cut young plants to the ground but only necessary branches to get a nice form; cut one-third of the main shoots from older plants to encourage growth.
Sun to half-shade.
Hardiness: tolerates extreme winters.
