Hydrangea (/ha?'dre?nd?i?/;common labels hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 species of flowering plant life local to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest types diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters extra tall, but some are small trees and shrubs, while others lianas getting up to 30 m (98 ft) by climbing up trees and shrubs. They could be either evergreen or deciduous, although cultivated temperate types are all deciduous widely.Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is now very common, on Faial particularly, which is recognized as the "blue island" because of the multitude of hydrangeas present on the island.Life cycleHydrangea plants are created from early spring to late fall; they develop in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) most often at the ends of the stems.
Usually the flowerheads contain two types of bouquets: small non-showy blossoms in the center or interior of the flowerhead, and large, showy blossoms with large vibrant sepals (tepals). These showy bouquets are often lengthened in a ring, or to the surface of the small flowers. Vegetation in outdoors populations have few to nothing of the showy flowers typically, while cultivated hydrangeas have been determined and bred to have more of the bigger type bouquets.There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which includes the commonly grown "bigleaf hydrangea"--Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead plants are large circular flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name suggests, the relative head of the mop. In contrast, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small flowers surrounded by outer rings of larger flowers having showy sepals or tepals.
The bouquets of some rhododendrons and viburnums can seem, initially, a lot like those of some hydrangeas.Garden soil and colors acidityIn most species the blossoms are white, however in some types (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, green, light purple, or dark crimson. In these species the colour is afflicted by the occurrence of lightweight aluminum ions which can be found or tangled up depending upon the earth pH. For H. macrophylla and H. serrata cultivars, the flower color can be determined by the relative acidity of the soil: an acidic soil (pH below 7), will supply aluminum ions and produce flowers that are blue to purple typically, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will tie up aluminum ions and cause pink or red flowers.
This is caused by a color change of the flower pigments in the occurrence of aluminium ions which can be taken up into hyperaccumulating crops.[6] Cutting down the pH of potting soils or mixes usually will not change the flower color to blue, because these soils haven't any aluminum ions. The ability to blue or green a hydrangea is affected by the cultivar also. Some plants are selected because of their ability to be blued, while others are bred and selected to be red, white or pink. The flower color of most other Hydrangea species is not afflicted by aluminum and can't be changed or shifted. Hydrangeas likewise have a nickname called 'Change Rose'.
