Hydrangea is a type of flower that most flower enthusiasts must grow. It has many varieties and a wide range of colors. Enthusiasts often choose to grow multiple varieties so they can enjoy continuous blooming at home. If you like to grow hydrangeas, remember that there are four common varieties. To achieve a full bloom, you need to remember its blooming time and use flower-boosting fertilizers appropriately to promote blooming. Today, Xiaoqi will briefly introduce some information to everyone.
1. Large Flower Hydrangea
Most of the hydrangeas seen in the market are large flower hydrangeas, including those with beautiful colors and large flower balls purchased online. The blooming period of large flower hydrangeas is from April to May in spring. Therefore, we need to understand its blooming time. Generally, as the temperature rises in spring and reaches about 10 degrees Celsius, the top of the plant will start to grow, and the flower buds will begin to open. When you see the top new leaves starting to open and grow, supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in time. Applying monopotassium phosphate directly will make the flower buds grow rapidly, allowing them to fully open. With sufficient nutrients, they can bloom in full force, with larger and more vibrant flowers and a longer blooming period.
2. Endless Summer
Endless Summer is a unique variety of hydrangea that can bloom continuously throughout the year. Its characteristic is that when the branches grow long and harden, flower buds will gradually form at the top. As long as the branches receive sufficient sunlight and grow to 15 to 20 centimeters, flower buds will definitely form at the top. Therefore, it is a variety that blooms in all seasons. During maintenance, we need to ensure sufficient fertilization and choose the right type of fertilizer because it needs to grow branches and new growth to bloom.
Fertilizers should contain a high content of phosphorus without lacking other elements. A common option is Flower多多 No. 2, supplemented two to three times a month. Also, ensure adequate sunlight, at least three to four hours a day, and provide shade in summer to prevent sunburn on the leaves. Keep the potting soil moist. As long as the temperature does not drop below 15 degrees, it can bloom multiple times. It is also a variety of large flower hydrangea but unique with a long blooming period. If you are growing it, you can try this method.

3. Panicle Hydrangea
Panicle hydrangea is a cold-resistant variety that can withstand temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. It can even survive the winter outdoors in the Northeast. When growing it, you need to know its blooming period, which starts in the middle to late June. Generally, as the temperature rises in spring, its buds will germinate and grow into branches. When the branches reach a certain height, around June, flower buds will form at the top of the branches. The flowers can bloom continuously until the end of autumn, and some varieties can even change color in autumn, making them very unique.
The so-called long blooming period refers to a single flower lasting on the plant for more than half a year. When we grow panicle hydrangea and new buds start to grow, we can use a multi-element fertilizer or a high-nitrogen fertilizer to promote their growth. When the branches grow to 5 to 10 centimeters, switch to phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote blooming. Continue using it until all flowers have bloomed, then switch to a multi-element fertilizer to promote root and new branch growth.
4. Hydrangea macrophylla
Hydrangea macrophylla does not have many varieties; it has two, Chinese hydrangea and European hydrangea. Both bloom white flowers that start as green and gradually turn white, making them very beautiful. The flower balls are also large, and they produce a large number of flowers. They can grow into a shrub or a large tree, very beautiful. The blooming period is from May to July when the flower buds start to form and bloom. Therefore, in spring, use a balanced fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to promote new branch growth. After using it once, switch to a high-phosphorus fertilizer to promote blooming. Generally, after the spring buds grow, the top will bloom immediately. When the flowers are about to end, we can use a balanced fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to promote new branch growth. Hydrangea macrophylla is relatively easy to grow, with strong cold resistance, and can be planted outdoors in the garden to form a beautiful large flower ball.
These four types are common hydrangeas, covering all the varieties we grow. If you want to grow them, choose the right time and fertilizers according to the variety you are growing. Then they can bloom in full force in your home, truly achieving annual blooming.
