Hydrangea sandi fraser. Hydrangea paniculata variety - Sunday Frize

Variety: Sunday Frize ( Sundae Fraise)

The “ice-cream” series from Jean Reno, beloved by gardeners, has been enriched with a new masterpiece. Hydrangea Sunday Frize is just what the owners of small gardens lacked; those who want to decorate a room or terrace with live, blooming hydrangeas will also be happy to buy seedlings of this variety.

Characteristics

The best way to demonstrate how the Sundae Fraise hydrangea is different from other paniculata is with a photo where it is in contrast with any of the tall varieties. A charming bush does not exceed a meter in height.

Multi-stemmed, fast-growing, highly ornamental shrub resistant to diseases and pests. Panicle hydrangea Sunday Frize planted in Moscow ('Rensun' and 'Strawberry Sundae' - this is also her) thrives, despite dust, soot and exceeding the maximum concentration limit for ... (something there). Does not tolerate dry soil. Long before the "critical mark" reproachfully hangs the leaves, urging the owners to take up the watering can.

Indifferent to how low the temperature drops in winter. After all, flowers are formed on the branches of the current year. Only very young seedlings cover, and then to protect not the branches, but the roots.

The crown is dense, evenly developed. The branches are red-brown, crowned with wide-conical panicles 25 cm or more long. Under the weight of many inflorescences, they droop picturesquely, but do not lie on the ground.

The cover is dense. The leaves are bright green, oval, arranged oppositely, covered with a thin, short soft pile. On the underside of the leaf, especially along the veins, the pubescence is more noticeable.

In terms of flowering duration, the dwarf hydrangea Sundae Fraise is a real giant: from June to the end of September. In the city, where it is noticeably warmer, and even longer - until October.

Even a lengthy description of the Sunday Frize hydrangea is powerless to reflect the amount of color nuances on its petals. In addition to the classic strawberry red, you can find pink, purple, and even lavender ones on sale. And all because the variety reacts very subtly to growing conditions and climatic features of the current year.

The authors of the variety claim that the true richness of colors comes with age. When placing an order, check if there are senior hydrangea saplings Sunday Fries for sale. Prices are slightly higher, but the famous color a la strawberry ice cream is already there. Plus, the bushes are more powerful, if desired, they can soon be divided.

The scope of application is extensive: tapeworms, groups, mixborders, hedges, container gardening and more. Effective on the stem. Colorful panicles do not fade in the sun, do not fade in partial shade.

If horsetail (an indicator of acidic soils) is found on the site, the place will definitely fit. To bring the pH closer to 5.5 - 6.0, peat or coniferous litter is added to the pit.

Landing

The root system of the shrub is compact, a hole of 20 * 20 * 20 cm is enough for him. The soil is mixed with peat and humus in equal proportions.

The best time for planting in the Moscow region is spring, from the beginning of sap flow to bud break. The pit is shed ahead of time: for one seat consume no less than a bucket of warm water.

The root neck can be slightly deepened - by a centimeter, no more. And it's better to leave it the way they grew in the nursery: our seedlings are sold with a lump, which you need to navigate. The final touch is a thick, 7-10 cm layer of mulch.

Care

Dwarf varieties of hydrangeas need fertilizer with the same frequency as tall ones. However, the rate should be halved.

Pruning schemes differ depending on whether you need a thick bush or large inflorescences. The first is achieved with a minimum pruning depth (only last year's inflorescences are cut, plus 1-2 buds). In the second case, the crown is intensively thinned out, removing all weak branches that break the schedule.

AT last years more and more country lawns are decorated with magnificent flowering shrubs, which previously could only be found on the southern coast during summer holiday with family. Oh sure we are talking about hydrangea. Who would have thought that this southern belle will feel great even in a Siberian dacha.

In fact, there are a lot of varieties of this shrub. But the Sunday Frize hydrangea, which will be discussed in this article, boasts of particular popularity among gardeners.

This variety was bred by the French breeder Jean Reno a few years ago, based on the popular Vanilla Fries. The main difference between the Sunday Fraise hydrangea is its compactness - the height and width of the bush is not more than 120 cm, while it has the correct shape.

Red-brown branches with dark green elliptical leaves crowned with flowers unusual shape and colors - as if cups with pinkish strawberry ice cream were hung all over the bush.

At the same time, flowers of completely different colors can be located on the same bush.

This is due to the different phases of flowering:

white color - the very beginning;
pink - middle;
bright crimson - flowering is coming to an end.

The intensity of the shade and the color range of the inflorescences is affected by the acidity of the earth: the higher it is, the richer the color of the flowers.

Hydrangea paniculata Sunday Frize has another advantage over other varieties - this is an incredible abundance and duration of flowering (mid-June - late October). Due to the unusual elongated shape and the length of the inflorescences (about 0.3 m), the hydrangea attracts the admiring glances of any person.

Landing in open ground

For a plant, the composition of the soil, its moisture content and the illumination of the site are very important. Before planting this shrub, carefully study the requirements for choosing a place, although even a novice gardener can plant and care for a hydrangea.

Site and soil preparation

The best place for growing this variety is openwork penumbra created by the foliage of trees, or from any building. Direct sunlight will adversely affect the development of the plant and its flowering. Draft will also have a negative effect.

The soil under the Sunday Frize hydrangea should be fertile, preferably acidic loam.

Sandy and calcareous soil is not suitable for it due to low acidity. To acidify the soil, add some brown peat, sawdust, or coniferous compost.

Hydrangea paniculata Sunday Frize prefers soil with high humidity, even a slightly wetland is suitable for her, she is also not afraid of the spring accumulation of melt water.

Since hydrangea is normally related to gas contamination environment, then feel free to plant it next to the road, creating a hedge.

How and when to plant?

Planting time - spring or autumn - depends on the region of cultivation. In the northern region, plant in the spring, in early May. AT southern regions can be planted not only in spring, but also in autumn, somewhere in mid-September.

Plant panicled hydrangea so that 1.5-2.5 m remains between the trees. When creating a hedge, you can reduce the distance between the bushes to 1-1.5 m so that there is no gap between them.

Landing:

make a hole 3-4 weeks before planting (depth - 40-50 cm, width - 60-7 cm);
in the evening, on the eve of planting, pour a couple of buckets of water into it so that it thoroughly nourishes the soil overnight;
fill the hole up to half with humus, soddy soil, black soil and peat, add 2 tables. spoons of urea, 2 table. spoons of potassium sulfate and a glass of superphosphate;
insert a seedling, fill the hole without deepening root collar, and trample the ground around the trunk;
pour a bucket and a half of water into the trunk circle and mulch the soil.

For some time after planting, the plant needs protection from direct sunlight and gusts of wind.

Caring for Hydrangea Sunday Frize

Growing hydrangeas is a simple process. It does not require close attention to itself, but a competent approach and regularity of action will undoubtedly give a good result in the form of unusually lush flowering.

Watering and feeding

Hydrangea does not respond well to lack of moisture. Make sure that the soil around the bush is always moist, especially in summer heat. This can only be achieved by regular watering. Best for irrigation rainwater because of its natural softness. Hard water is not suitable for watering hydrangeas, as the lime content is exceeded in it.

How to reduce water hardness:

water with settled water;
tie a little (≈100 g) of peat in a rag, put it in a bucket of water, let it brew for a day;
add some water apple cider vinegar rather than oxalic acid.

Pour at least a bucket of water under each plant, and preferably two.

Loosening and mulching the soil in the trunk circle will help retain moisture more long time. Loosen as the crust forms, at least once every 3-4 weeks.

Keep in mind, deep loosening will only harm the plant. Due to the superficial location of the roots, there is a danger of injuring them.

When active vegetation has begun, and even more so flowering, do not skimp on top dressing. They must be carried out during this period once every half a month. organic nutrition should alternate with mineral. organic fertilizers is infused cow dung or chicken manure added to water. Mineral fertilizers – potassium nitrate and superphosphate. You can also use special hydrangea fertilizers from a gardening store.

Another important detail in the care of hydrangeas. The Sunday Frize variety is distinguished by the fragility of the shoots; they cannot withstand the weight of huge flowers. So that they do not break, tie branches with especially large inflorescences to some kind of support.

plant pruning

The main purpose of pruning is to give the bush an ideal shape and stimulate abundant flowering.

Annual pruning ensures pomp and abundance of flowers on the bush.

Usually it is done in the twentieth of March, until the sap flow begins and the foliage does not interfere. Mark for yourself the largest shoots, shorten them, leaving 5 buds each, remove the rest.

Old bushes need rejuvenating pruning. It lies in the fact that all branches are cut to stumps of 7-8 cm. Next year, these stumps will give young shoots, which means that the bush will be showered with flowers.

How to care for hydrangeas in autumn and winter

The most cold-resistant of all hydrangeas is paniculate. She will calmly endure a 25-degree frost without shelter. And if the place where it grows is quiet and calm, then the lower temperature is not terrible for it.

If, nevertheless, she had to freeze slightly, then she will find the strength in herself for a quick recovery when spring comes.

To support the hydrangea during wintering, you should spud the bush and mulch the trunk circle with a thick layer - this will protect root system from frost.

How to prepare hydrangea for winter:

stop watering from the beginning of September;
remove nitrogen fertilizers, and increase the amount of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers;
clean the bush from dry leaves, remove them from the trunk circle and burn them.

In autumn, overgrown bushes are seated. It is important that this work be carried out before the cold weather, so that the transplanted plant takes root.

Reproduction of hydrangea Sunday Frize

Hydrangea Sunday Frize reproduces in several ways:

Green cuttings. In July, cut cuttings (15 cm) with 3-4 pairs of leaves, place in a container of water to which a growth stimulator has been added. After 3-4 hours, plant them in a wet peat-sand mixture and cover each with a jar. Don't forget to water. After the appearance of new leaves, remove the jars. Before the onset of winter, make a shelter from dry leaves, grass and covering material.
Layering. In early spring, before the buds open, lay the lower branches of the bush on the loosened ground and sprinkle them, leaving only the top of the head on the surface. Water regularly. At the end of September, half a meter seedlings will grow from them, dig them out and divide them one by one. Dig each seedling and leave it under a bush for the winter. Plant them out in the spring. Plant in a place of permanent growth in a year.
Offspring. At the beginning of autumn, carefully separate the young shoots from the main root, plant them on a temporary bed for growing. On the next year you can plant them in a permanent place.
The division of the bush. In early spring until the buds swell, water the bush chosen for division, carefully dig it out and rinse the roots. Divide the root system into right amount seedlings and plant in the selected places.

Hydrangea paniculata is one of the four most popular species cultivated in Russia. Hydrangea paniculata got its name from the shape of the flower. It is a motley "panicle" at the very end of the branch, which is wrapped in large leaves of various shapes. Hydrangea Care Guide room conditions.

The difference between panicle hydrangea and tree hydrangea

The two leading species garden hydrangeas- These are tree-like and paniculate hydrangeas. Both plants have a mass positive qualities but they also have disadvantages:

The tree hydrangea is a typical shrub, in contrast to the paniculate counterpart, which is more like a small tree in shape, often a multi-stemmed and less often single-stemmed plant.
Paniculata hydrangea tolerates well low temperatures. Young shoots of panicled hydrangea gain strength by autumn and are completely covered with "bark", for this reason, even they are not afraid of Russian frost. What cannot be said about tree hydrangea. In winter, all young shoots freeze, because they do not have time to get stronger. And the next year, fresh shoots are released again and bloom in the same color. If you cover this species under the snow, then next year the bush will fill with strength and again continue its path to the sun's rays.

Both species have a wide colors, anyone can choose the plant that he likes. And it will be a great addition to the natural ensemble in the garden.

When blooming, the flowers are white, then gradually turn pink, and in the fall they become bright pink. They remain on the branches for a long time, and the faded inflorescences are cut off and used for floral arrangements. Hydrangea paniculata Sundae Fraise / Rensun ® shades may vary depending on exposure, climate and soil type. Flowering time: from July to September, sometimes lasts until October. Leaves: opposite, ovate, dense, dark green, rough, slightly pubescent above, stronger below, especially along the veins.

Planting / care: Planting a hydrangea should be done without deepening the root neck. After planting, it is necessary to water and loosen the soil. In late May - early June, top dressing is carried out. Hydrangea paniculata Rensan ® needs annual pruning. It is recommended to cut the shoots by 2/3 before the start of the growing season for more abundant flowering. Regular strong spring pruning contributes to a long and abundant flowering. If this is not done, the plant will develop poorly and may not even bloom. It is noticed that whey has a positive effect on Hydrangeas. Lactic acid bacteria, getting into the soil, create a favorable, nutritious acidic environment for hydrangea roots. Pests and diseases: on alkaline soil, hydrangea suffers from chlorosis. In hot, dry weather, damage is possible spider mite. Sometimes the leaves and stems of hydrangeas can be affected by false powdery mildew. The main thing is to determine the pest (diagnosis) in order to choose the right plant protection product. Untreated plants can be affected by Anthracnose (leaf spot), powdery mildew and aphids. To protect the plant from diseases and fungal infections, it is necessary to treat the plants with fungicides (Skor, Switch, Maxim, Ordan, Horus, Quadris, Radomil Gold, etc.). It is better to carry out preventive treatments once a month than to treat when the pest multiplies and “eats up” the plant.
