Hydrangea 'Jip Blue' — classic unisex t-shirt

French hydrangea 'Jip Blue'

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Jip Blue'

French hydrangea is planted in many European gardens, although its native land is far Asia. Despite its exotic origins, hydrangeas are associated with English manor houses, where heroines from Jane Austen's novels stroll by, admiring the swollen flowers among the luscious greenery. The hydrangea, with its ball-shaped inflorescences, must have been the backdrop for many of the dramatic daily events of English young ladies, which naturally pushed the plant into the background. Fortunately, today hydrangeas, like a beautiful young girl, are very popular - you can even have them on a t-shirt, especially if you already have them in your garden. Garden hydrangeas like permeable, humus and moist soils. They grow well in sunny to semi-shaded positions, but they feel best in a maritime climate: moist and mild, so they require intensive watering, especially on dry and sunny days. 'Jip Blue' is a variety with spectacular dark blue flower color. It is also perfect as a cut flower, as well as for dry compositions.
