|
Hydrangea aspera belongs to the subsection Asperae , these include among others, the Hydrangea involucrata , H. sargentiana , H. villosa , H. strigosa , H.Kawakami , H.longifolia , H.longipes and H.sikokiana . All these species are native to Southeast Asia and grow at an altitude ranging between 400m and 2,500 m , they all have a real shrub - form, branching from the base . Hydrangea ' Kawakami ' we find only in Taiwan . There are also numerous hybrids between villosa and aspera and between aspera and involucrata . Both H.aspera , H.villosa as H.sargentiana are characterized by their large green hairy leaves with a slightly rounded bottom and large flat flower heads with an intriguing play of contrast between the many fertile flowers inside and large sterile florets . Care - tips: They bloom depending on the species between June and September , the hardiness is variable , some species can endure a lot of cold , the other require more temperate climates. They all dislike heavy soil and and do not cope with draughts and cold winds . A sheltered site in partial shade ,in moist but well- permeable soil is therefore a basic requirement for success . Keep in mind that most species can reach a height of 2 to 4m after many years and thus certainly need the necessary space . |
