Nachtigal Lacecap Hydrangea (Blue) DORMANT

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Nachtigal'

Please note that these are still small and are currently in winter dormancy mode. Most of last season's foliage has been shed. There are new leaf buds present and they will take off in Spring.

Due to the onset of Autumn conditions, the leaves of the Nachtigal a have developed some seasonal blemishes. This is normal for Autumn/winter conditions when hydrangea leaves turn off-color due to their deciduous growth habit. Some customers who have never grown hydrangeas become alarmed and report various spots and discolorations they observe on the foliage. I reassure customers that this is normal. The leaves will drop off in winter and fresh new unblemished leaves will begin to emerge in spring. This will continue year after year as part of the normal growth cycle.

Noted for its large blue lacecap flowers. Leaves turn pale yellow in winter.

Hydrangeas vary in color depending on the pH of the soil.
