In the shade of hydrangea not many plants thrive
Which plants are suitable for planting the Hydrangea?
Hydrangeas are particularly fond of being planted under large trees and enchant garden corners where almost nothing else thrives, with their charm. Over the years, the hydrangea grows into stately bushes. In order to keep the shadow bed attractive then recommends a planting of the hydrangea with shadow-loving shrubs.
Plant community in the light shade
Shadowed flowerbeds look very attractive when you enhance the magic of changing light effects through different leaf shapes. Here, funkies with their many forms and leaf colorations are especially appealing. In old cottage gardens, the hydrangea is often planted with ferns whose bizarre structures form an interesting contrast to the large foliage of the hydrangea. Also very attractive is the lady's mantle, on whose leaves the dew gathers in the morning and glistens in the light of the first rays of sunshine.
Sexy color accents
Hydrangeas inspire garden lovers with their color spectrum, ranging from white to pink and red to violet and blue. Plant a white flowering hydrangea with colorful primroses and add colorful accents. A shrub that thrives in the shade and under hydrangeas is the ragwort with its bright orange flowers. These harmonize wonderfully with almost green or white flowering hydrangea species. Since the ragweed can grow up to a meter high, the hydrangea should have already reached a proud size.
Spring bloomers that thrive in the shade of the Hydrangea
Hydrangeas set with lilies of the valley form dense carpets. The winter hardy bulbous plants multiply by themselves and enchant in the spring with their delicate flowers and the fine fragrance.
Plant hydrangea with barberry
When it rains, the big flower balls of the hydrangea literally suck themselves full of water and the branches threaten to break under this load. Proven here is a planting with barberry, as the tree-thorned shrub for hydrangea is an excellent support.
Tips
Improve the soil in the shade through leaf humus. Especially in the vicinity of buildings lacks the natural leaf waste and the earth requires the regular loosening by organic substances.
