Hydrangea paniculata candy light. Hydrangea "Candelight" (paniculata)

“Light of a burning candle”, the name of the new variety is fascinating. Deciduous shrub with a dense compact crown, 1-1.2 m high. The variety is decorative due to its abundant flowering. It blooms profusely on the shoots of the current year from July to October. The flowers are initially yellow-green, then creamy-golden. The inflorescences are very large, conical. The leaves are dark green, serrated along the edges. The shoots are strong and purple at the top, which creates a beautiful contrast with the lush inflorescences. During the growing season, the shrub requires constant watering and responds well to fertilizing. Light partial shade is ideal for growing ‘Candelight’, although the plant also does well in the sun. The soil is fertile, moderately moist, drained, with a reaction from acidic to neutral. It is better to mulch the root zone with peat, bark or other organic materials, this will allow the soil to retain moisture longer. The plant is highly frost-resistant. Hydrangea "Candelight" will look beautiful alone on the lawn, in alleys, or in complex combinations with other deciduous and evergreen plants.

Use: it is recommended to plant hydrangeas singly or in groups on the lawn; they can be used in complex compositions with coniferous species, as well as with other deciduous and evergreen plants, ornamental shrubs. Hydrangeas will undoubtedly decorate any garden plot.

Soil: demanding soil richness and moisture. Soil mixture: humus, leaf soil, peat, sand (2:2:1:1). It must be taken into account that all types of hydrangea have a negative attitude towards the presence of lime in the soil; the soil for them should be closer to acidic (pH about 5.0). This is exactly the reaction soil environment usually happens in middle lane. The tree tree suffers somewhat less than others from lime, but its “peaceful nature” should not be abused. Hydrangea is moisture-loving. This is very easy to understand, since the literal translation of its Latin name hydrangea is a vessel with water. This means that the soil must be watered in a timely manner.

Planting: hydrangea is planted in the ground in the northern regions in spring, in the south - in spring and autumn. Plants are planted in early spring at a distance of 1 m from each other, without deepening the root collar. The size of the pits for young plants is 30 x 30 x 30 cm. Root system hydrangeas are shallow but branched. 1/3 of a bucket of humus and peat is added to each hole, and after planting the plants are watered. Watering is best done with soft rainwater. After watering, the soil is loosened. At the end of May - beginning of June, fertilize with a solution of slurry in a ratio of 1:10 and complete mineral fertilizer: 20 g of superphosphate, 10 g of potassium and ammonium nitrate per 10 liters of water. Fertilizer is applied again after 10-15 days. Feeding provides best flowering this year and the laying of flower buds for next year. The tree trunk circles are mulched with humus or peat, and mulch is added after digging. In autumn, bushes are hilled to a height of 20-30 cm.

Pruning: Hydrangeas form inflorescences on the current year's shoots. Without pruning, hydrangea bushes become very dense, have a neglected appearance, and the quality of flowering gradually decreases. If they are heavily pruned in early spring, they form powerful shoots, on which inflorescences form in summer or early autumn. The main requirement is to prune in early spring to allow enough time for flowering growth to develop. Therefore, pruning should be done in March-April, when the growth buds begin to swell and the location of new shoots can be seen. It is important to feed pruned bushes to encourage annual production of good, healthy growth.

The goal of initial pruning is to develop strong, evenly spaced skeletal stems. In the first year, for normal development of the hydrangea root system, pruning should not be as severe as in subsequent years. When planting, all weak and damaged shoots are removed. In March-April, growths are cut off by one to three quarters of their length. Larger bushes are pruned more heavily than smaller bushes.

In the second year, in March-April, last year's growths are severely pruned to the developing buds above the older part of the stem. The soil at the base of the plant should be mulched heavily with compost or manure to encourage vigorous new growth. In subsequent years, the pruning procedure is the same as in the second year. After a few years, the main woody branches may thicken, so they should be thinned periodically. To ensure regular shoot formation, annual mulching of the plant is necessary. Lack of nutrition can lead to the formation of weak, thin shoots. Aging hydrangea bushes are rejuvenated by pruning to perennial wood or “to a stump” (pruned heavily, leaving a height of 0.5 - 0.8 m); Such plants can bloom on next year, since flowers are laid on the shoots of the current year. In autumn, faded inflorescences are removed.

NOTE. You can only trim tree-like and paniculata hydrangea. The liana-like tree is only shortened by the frosty tops. Don’t even think about cutting off broadleaf (precisely that beauty that blooms with blue or pink spherical caps depending on the acidity of the soil)!!! It blooms on last year's growth. If you prune regularly, you will never see flowers. Only now have we been able to develop varieties that bloom on current growth, but I think it is unlikely that they have entered our gardens so widely as to risk such pruning. Good luck. For 3 years I cut broadleaf hydrangea, as they wrote in the press, and could not understand why nothing was blooming. Don't repeat mistakes - learn from others' mistakes (in this case, mine). In addition, try to preserve growth from frost. Otherwise, the flower buds will freeze and there will be no flowering again. This broad-leaved girl is a capricious girl - but she is a beauty - they are all like that.

Having equipped a fountain, you can listen to the sound of falling water. For some, the presence of bodies of water personal plot is not necessary, then a landscape design specialist can create the appearance of the presence of water using a “dry” stream.
