||
Hydrangea sargentiana belongs just like H.aspera , H.villosa , H.involucrata , H.longifolia , H.longipes , H. sikokokiana , H. glabripes and H. Kawakami to the subsection of the Asperae . The origin of this Hydrangea lies above all in China and Nepal . Hydrangea sargentiana is a robust , upright shrub with a height of 2.5 to 4m , and a large , slightly domed inflorescence with lots of lilac to violet- blue flowers beautifully standing in contrast with the large outer white sterile florets . Flowering takes place from mid-July to late August. Not only the flowers, but also the habit and the large , oval , irregularly toothed leaves with velvet texture attract attention . Although we often find him in full sun (where he's usually not in a brilliant state ) the Hydrangea sargentiana prefers a position in partial shade or shade . With his beautiful flowers and mysterious form he succeeds to illuminate many half-shade places. H.sargentiana is pretty hardy shrub , requires a cool place and a well- permeable soil . Synonym botanical name : Hydrangea aspera ssp . sargentiana Common name : velvet hydrangea |
