Hydrangea macrophylla Kumiko
Hydrangea macrophylla Kumiko
Bigleaf Hydrangea, French Hydrangea
Hello. For my entire order, I am waiting for my young plants to flower and especially to see if they will withstand the excessive heat of the Var next year. The summer has been very hot and all my plants from the previous order quickly withered despite being on drip irrigation. Except for the Violet Cardinal Hydrangea, which has excellent resistance!

Description
The Hydrangea macrophylla 'Kumiko' (also known as Mrs Kumiko) is a recent addition to floristry due to its excellent durability in vases and the garden. This variety blooms abundantly throughout the summer, displaying beautiful, dense, ball-shaped flower heads with lovely, toothed florets between mauve and pink. Each floret is accented with a small, soft yellow to anise green centre. The compact bush has sturdy stems adorned with magnificent, bright green foliage and an upright habit. This beautiful bush is perfect for a romantic garden, and its stunning flowers can be enjoyed in dry or fresh bouquets in the home.
Hydrangea macrophylla Kumiko, also known as 'Lady Kumiko', 'Asuka' and 'ASKA', is a new plant variety not yet widely available. It was created by cross-breeding several species from the Hydrangeaceae family, originally from China and Japan. 'Kumiko' has a compact and tufted habit and can grow up to 1m (3 ft 4 in) in all directions. It has sturdy branches and produces abundant flowers from July to August to September. The flowers are almost round and dense, reaching 15 to 20 cm (5.9 to 7.9 in) in diameter. They are made up of sterile florets with dentate petals. The flowers turn mauve in acidic soil and a little pink in neutral soil. The colour of the flowers evolves towards cream-white or pale yellow tinted with green. The plant has shiny and ample foliage, which is bright green and deciduous. The leaves are ovate to elliptical, roughly saw-toothed and reach a minimum of 20 cm long. Hydrangeas can live for at least 50 years.
Hydrangea Kumiko is a robust and compact plant that produces long-lasting flower heads. These plants are ideal for brightening up the north side of houses and can also thrive in an east or west-facing area that doesn't receive direct sunlight. You can grow them in groups or hedges or place them in containers on your terrace or near the entrance. While these plants don't tolerate limestone soil well, they are not strictly ericaceous plants. You can pair them with magellanica fuchsias, annual impatiens, or plant spring bulbs in front of their round shape. These plants offer a beautiful and long-lasting bloom that can be enjoyed indoors and outdoors.

Planting and care
To plant the Hydrangea macrophylla Kumiko, choose a slightly shaded spot in spring or early autumn, such as against an east-facing or northern wall. Keep it away from cold winds and the sun. It prefers deep, fresh, well-drained, and relatively fertile soil, but ericaceous soil is unnecessary. You can enrich the soil with a good base fertiliser before planting. If the soil is dry at the foot of the wall, plant the root ball at least 30-40 cm (11.8-15.7 in) away from the base and add well-rotted compost to improve soil freshness. This plant is resilient and can be planted in cold areas. When pruning, remove the faded flowers on the first or second bud. To encourage the formation of young shoots, cut back a quarter or a third of the oldest stems to the base when the plant matures. Prune every year in March or April.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
