rockeries are dry garden areas, in which stones form the substrate. They are mostly oriented towards the south, so that the stones are in the Sun can warm up well. A rock garden should replicate the location criteria of a mountain range and are therefore ideally suited for drought-resistant, alpine plants. With its robust planting, a rock garden is considered to be particularly easy to care for.
Hydrangeas are not alpine plants and their demands are conceivable not suitable for a rock garden. The hydrangea tolerate neither drought nor direct sun and heat. As in one gravel bed they would get too warm and dry in a rock garden.
Tip
Create the best possible conditions in the rock garden
If you still want to try planting your hydrangeas in a rock garden, you should make sure to meet their requirements as much as possible. The stones should contain silicate, as this means a low PH value cares. Place the hydrangea behind a large rock or bush so that the location is in the middle penumbra lies. First of all, you need to make the hydrangea more vigorous
pour than the rest of the rock garden and ideally create a way that keeps moisture on the plant better. Also regular Fertilize is essential for the hydrangea.
