Description
The Hydrangea or Hydrangea macrophylla Midnight Pearl, known by its cultivar name 'Hokomamipe', is part of the Black Diamonds® series. It offers striking colours, with a dark foliage and light bicoloured flowers, whose florets are white with pink serrated edges, grouped in small clusters on a flattened head. The abundant flowering in July sits on a broad, toothed foliage of dark green tinged with blackish brown. This hydrangea is a precious adornment for small, well-kept gardens, terraces, and balconies.
The Hydrangea macrophylla Black Diamonds Midnight Pearl is a recent hybrid, resulting from the cross-breeding of the H. macrophylla and H. serrata species, among others. All these hardy plants belong to the hydrangea family and are native to China and Japan.
This bush has a rounded and branched habit, as wide as it is tall, reaching about 1m in all directions. From July to September, its small sterile flowers form spherical inflorescences measuring 20 to 25 cm in diameter, slightly flattened. The flowering beautifully contrasts with a glossy, deeply veined, waxy-textured foliage of very dark green, tinged with brown and black throughout the season. The deciduous leaves are opposite, reaching at least fifteen centimetres in length. They are simple, ovate to elliptical, with a tapering tip and coarsely serrated edges. Hydrangeas can live for at least 50 years.
The Midnight Pearl Hydrangea fascinates with the brightness of its contrasts. Hydrangeas are well-known for brightening the north side of houses. This one will thrive in a non-scorching east or west exposure, in flower beds as well as hedges. This variety is well-suited for container gardening, which can be placed on the terrace in a beautiful pot or near the entrance. Given its contrasting and varied colours, pair Midnight Pearl with green foliage plants or white or pink flowers to harmonise with it. Consider Chinese Azaleas, Lilies, Tulips, or the simple flowers of the soft pink Fuchsia magellanica. Enjoy its long-lasting flowering in the garden or indoors.

Planting and care
Plant the Hydrangea macrophylla Midnight Pearl in spring or early autumn, preferably in a slightly shaded location, such as against an east-facing wall or even north-facing. In very cold regions, it may be prudent to overwinter it in a cold greenhouse or in the conservatory, even though it can withstand -15°C. Keep it sheltered from cold and drying winds. It does not require ericaceous soil, but it appreciates a deep, cool, well-drained, and fairly fertile soil, possibly enriched with a good base fertiliser before planting. If the soil is dry at the base of the wall, place the root ball at least 30-40 cm away from the base of the wall and incorporate a quantity of well-rotted compost to better retain moisture in the soil. Very hardy, it is not afraid to be planted in cold regions. As for pruning, remove faded flowers on the first bud or on the pair of buds directly below. Cut back a quarter or a third of the oldest stems at the base, when the plant is mature, to promote the formation of new shoots. Perform this pruning every year during the months of March and 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).
