| Abracadabra™ Orb Hydrangea H. mac. ‘Hororb’ ppaf | |
|
Plants should be fun and make you smile. That’s the whole idea behind Abracadabra Hydrangeas. You’ve never seen such fun and funky flowers on top of showy black satin stems. Funky mop-head flowers emerge green and peach and mature to a hot pink. Black satin stems add to the fun. Flower color can be pushed to blue with the addition of aluminum sulfate. Developed by Katrin Meinl of Dresden Germany.

Hardiness: USDA Zone 5 Bloom Time: Summer Bloom Color: Flowers emerge green and pink and transforms to hot pink with maturity. Foliage Color: dark green
Size:
3-4 feet Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Soil: Well-drained soil that has been amended with peat moss, leaf mold or compost. Pruning: Forms its flower buds in later summer and then flowers in late June. The best time to prune is it after it blooms, from mid-July to mid-August. Cease pruning in mid-august to allow time for the flower buds to form prior to winter. As a young plant it is best to prune or pinch your plant in order to build a full bodied, well branched plant. If the plant is leggy when you purchased it, shear the plant back hard by 1/3 to 1/2 its original size. Once it puts on an inch or two of growth, pinch the branch tips to remove just the growing tip. This tip controls branching. Once it is removed the buds below it will turn into stems. Once these new branches grow an inch or two, pinch the tip out again. You can repeat this throughout the first growing season as you are tending your garden. Although you will sacrifice one year of bloom, this technique results in a well branched, full bodied plant that will have more flowers in subsequent years. The second season in the ground, repeat the pinching practice (or lightly shear) up until mid-August. Cease pruning and pinching to allow the flower buds to set. Watering: High moisture. Moisture is a necessity of this plant. Type: Deciduous Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for trees & shrubs. Follow the label for recommended rate of application. Flower color is affected by pH. For blue flowers, the soil must be more acidic and for pink flowers, the soil must be more alkaline. Uses: Groupings or masses, perennial or shrub borders, specimen, screens or hedges, mixed container, cut flowers. Breeder: Developed in Dresden, Germany by Katrin Meinl
