Hydrangeas, which produce new flowers throughout the summer, are very popular among hydrangea lovers. You can find out in this article why the so-called remontant hydrangeas are particularly easy to care for.
What are remontant hydrangeas?
Remontant hydrangeas continue to produce new flowers throughout the summer. This means that they not only have a particularly long flowering period, but are also particularly easy to care for. They tolerate incorrect pruning measures and frost much better than varieties that only flower once.
What does reassemble mean?
Remontierend means “flowering more often”. This means that a plant is capable of not only producing flowers once in a season, but also producing additional flowers during and after the first flowering.
Which hydrangeas are remontant?
Remontant hydrangea varieties emerged both by chance and through targeted breeding. The best-known varieties are the “Endless Summer”,“Forever & Ever”and“Diva fiore”, which belong to the country hydrangeas. These varieties last the whole summer new flowers keep coming out.
How do I care for remontant hydrangeas?
The advantage of replanting hydrangeas is that they arevery easy to care for. Since they keep producing new flowers, they can forgive being pruned too hard or at the wrong time. They also tolerate very cold winters and late frosts better. Because even if the current shoot freezes, the plant will later develop new shoots. As a result, the flowering does not stop completely, but is just postponed slightly.
Tip
Cut off spent flowers
Replanting hydrangeas do not need to be cut back. However, to encourage repeat flowering, you can cut off spent parts of the plant.
