Mathilda Gutges Hydrangea macrophylla (Blue) DORMANT

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Mathilda Gutges'

Please note that these are  currently in winter dormancy mode and 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 Mathilda Gutges have developed some seasonal blemishes. This is normal for Autumn/winter conditions when hydrangea leaves turn off-color due to their deciduous growth habit,  it can occur another times of the year if the leaves don't dry out after watering or a rain. 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/spring 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 vibrant blue flowers in acidic soil, will be a very vibrant hot pink in alkaline soils.

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

Height 1-2m
