Hydrangea serrata 'Midoriboshi Temari' JAPANESE MOUNTAIN HYDRANGEAS are hale and hardy. Bud hardy yet very feminine. High maintenance? Not these ladies. In 10 years they have bloomed every year for everyone I have planted. They remain dormant longer and avoid late frosts. Generally they are somewhat smaller than the H. macrophylla. H. serrata 'Midoriboshi Temari' Elegant and long, bright pink pedicels carry fully double sterile floret in fading shades of blue to lavender to pink surrounding heads of pink fertile floret for a long period in summer. More upright than other selections of this species, ultimately to 5 ft. Like their 'French' cousins they like good drainage, good soil and water and fertilizer. But you don't have to hover over them. Just plant them well to begin with and water once a week. Give them acidity, (sulphur) for better blues and alkalinity, (lime) for more pinks. Don't trim them. Just cut yourself some bouquets. Do yourself a favor...grow some of these. You don't have 15 years to waste. Zone 6-10.
