Therefore, the end with hydrangeas in Danish gardens

The problem is not that the hydrangea has lost its beauty. On the contrary. The large floral tops in white, pink or even blue can continue to charm any garden owner.

On the other hand, it is the climate that poses the biggest challenge.

According to Gartner Isabelle van Groeningen of the Royal Garden Academy, high temperatures and longer periods of heat and drought are the largest villains for the beloved plant.

Hold a break from hydrangeas, says expert

The hydrangea suffers from our ‘modern’ summers.

Running around with the water hose from morning to evening only helps a little, because the leaves still turn brown and the flowers will start to look like curly paper debris.

According to the gardener, it is directly heartbreaking to witness.

Many people hope that another location in the garden may be the rescue, but it is reportedly not solving the problem.

The shade from a tree is better than the shade of a house because the tree emits a bit of moisture during the day.

However, it does not change that the soil is usually dry as the roots of the tree suck a large part of the water.

The conclusion from the experts is therefore quite clear. Consider taking a break from planting new hydrangeas unless you live in a damp area where the temperature does not run off.

After all, it’s better to wait than to see a beautiful plant losing its splendor.
