Hydrangea macrophylla Agnes Pavelli

Hydrangea macrophylla Agnes Pavelli

Agnes Pavelli is one of the best white mophead hydrangeas with large heads of pure white flowers. A fine foil for woodland shrubs; if planted in shade the flowers will age green tones. It is reasonably tolerant of full sun, the flowers turning lovely burgundy tones with age.

Hydrangea macrophylla Arthur Billiard**

Hydrangea macrophylla Arthur Billard**

Arthur Billard is a fantastic red mophead; one of the earliest to flower. It is one of the few macrophylla varieties to have autumn coloured foliage with leaves turning tones of red & yellow . It is a lovely compact plant ideal for growing in a pot or tub.  An old variety – how this has been ignored for decades is a mystery.

The grape produces a particularly acid wine, but benefits from acidic soils like granite.
The granite conducts heat well and thus neutralizes the acidity. The Gamay vine tends to
root very shallow in alkaline soils producing stress on the vine with a corresponding high acidity.
The carbonic maceration produces interesting flavors and aromas – reminiscent of bananas.
