Hydrangeas For Sale Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro

October 9, 2017 / /

 

Even in the smallest and humblest garden, a sturdy hydrangea at once proclaims the place as the abode of a real gardener rather than a mere purchaser of plants to cover the landscape.

Hydrangeas For Sale in Minneapolis/St. Paul

Hydrangeas are a very popular flower variety and for good reasons. They smell fantastic, come in a wide variety of colors, and have large uniquely shaped pom-pom blooms. Some of the first known documentation of hydrangeas being cultivated was by Buddhist monks in Japan. They used a specific breed of the flower (hydrangea serrata) in some of their ritualistic teas. These days, however, hydrangeas are commonly found and cultivated worldwide. This includes right in the sunny, serene Wagners garden centers in Minnesota.

Hydrangeas come in 75 different known species. We’re happy to be host to a good number of them. Hydrangeas are popular landscaping and home flowers due to the distinct shape of their bloom groupings and their low threshold for care. To meet the demand that comes for such a dynamic flower, we are happy to offer hydrangeas in many different colors including shades of white, blue, red, pink, and varying intensities of purple.

How to Care for Hydrangeas

The first thing you need to know when preparing to care for a hydrangea is how important water is. Hydrangeas prefer significant watering at least once per week, more-so when the weather outside is particularly dry. Most varieties of the plant are versatile when it comes to their sunlight needs. They can handle full sun just as well as partial shade. Many species are sensitive to extreme heat, however, so it’s recommended to plant these large-bloomed flowers in areas where they’re afforded at least some shade. A good shade variety is the white Annabelle hydrangea with large ball like flowers. An easy and showy species are the paniculata hydrangeas with their large cone shaped blooms in white, pink blush  or lime colors. They also make spectacular trees.

The correct light conditions alongside rich, aerated soil, a regular pruning schedule, and an occasional boost of fertilizer can help you grow a thriving, beautiful hydrangea plant in no time.

Hydrangea FAQS

Here are a few of our favorite interesting hydrangea facts:

  • The pH level of the soil affects the general color of the hydrangea. This means, that for many species, you can actually alter the shade by tinkering with the acidity and alkalinity of the soil they’re planted in. A good example are the Endless summer series.
  • Nearly all species of hydrangea are mildly toxic when consumed. However, there is one breed, Hydrangea serrata, that people in Japan use for a special herbal tea blend. It’s mainly used for kan-butsu-e, a special Buddhist cleansing ceremony that occurs in early April of each year. The hydrangea tea develops an interestingly sweet, floral taste.
  • Pink hydrangeas are especially popular in Asia. This is because of a belief that, if you give someone a pink hydrangea, you are saying, “You are the beat of my heart.” This meaning is attributed to well-loved Chinese florist Tan Jun Yong, who said, “ The delicate blush of the petals reminds me of a beating heart, while the size could only match the heart of the sender!”
