About Hydrangea Flowers

Hydrangeas are exquisitely beautiful flowers with unique characteristics, famous for their chameleon-like ability to change colour depending on the pH level of the soil they are planted in. Their voluminous, globe-shaped blossoms often symbolise gratitude, heartfelt emotions, and understanding, making them a popular choice for floral arrangements and garden landscapes.

Hydrangea Varieties and Colors

Hydrangeas boast an impressive array of varieties and colours that cater to every gardener's aesthetic preferences. Some of the most popular hydrangea varieties include the mophead or French hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla), known for its large, globe-shaped blooms in shades of blue, pink, or purple; the lacecap hydrangea, a close relative of the mophead, featuring flat clusters of tiny fertile flowers surrounded by larger, sterile ones; the panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) with its pyramid-shaped flower clusters that can shift from white to shades of pink or red; and the oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia), prized for its distinctive foliage resembling oak leaves and lovely white blooms that take on subtle pink tints as they age.

Using Hydrangeas in Floral Decor

Adored for their versatile and voluminous blooms, hydrangeas’ clusters of petals, which come in a range of captivating colours, are a popular pick for both casual and elegant arrangements. Hydrangeas add a touch of timeless beauty to bouquets, centrepieces, and corsages, whether used on their own or mixed with other complementary flowers. Their ability to absorb water readily means they can stay fresh and vibrant for extended periods, making them a reliable choice for weddings, special occasions, or everyday floral displays.

Caring for Hydrangeas in Singapore's Climate

Maintaining hydrangeas in Singapore's warm and humid climate requires some attention to detail, but it's certainly achievable to enjoy these beautiful blooms. Selecting the right hydrangea variety is crucial. Opt for heat-tolerant varieties like the "Endless Summer" series or the native Hydrangea macrophylla to thrive in Singapore's weather. Plant them in a location with morning sun and afternoon shade to protect them from the intense midday heat.

Hydrangeas are thirsty plants, so consistent watering is essential. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as they don't like soggy roots. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth and more flowers. Next, fertilise hydrangeas with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser during the growing season, typically in spring and early summer. Pruning should be done cautiously, as it varies depending on the hydrangea type. Avoid heavy pruning in the tropics, as this can stress the plant.

At the end of the day, providing a bit of extra care and attention to hydrangeas can reward you with their stunning, vibrant blooms and lush foliage, making them a delightful addition anywhere.
