Look at her standing, with one big flower on a stem: the Hy-pe Avantgarde. Her distinctive looks make Avantgarde stand out everywhere. Whether in the home, in the garden or as a tub or patio plant. And... the flower gradually changes color!

The Hy-pe Avantgarde always stands out. A large flower on stem gives the Hy-pe Avantgarde a distinctive look. It is a variety that not only colors home and garden, but also tub and patio. And what a color! First white, then pink/blue to turn to red at the end of the flowering period.

A unique feature of the Avantgarde is that it is a Hydrangea that can bloom at any time of year. At the end of the flowering period, remove the faded flower. After about four months, the Avantgarde rewards you with fresh colors again. How this is possible? Well, the Avantgarde is one of the few Hydrangeas that does not need a cooling period to rebloom. How unique can this variety from Hy-pe be?

Care

Pruning

After your hydrangea has finished flowering indoors you can plant it outside if there is little chance of night frost. Clip back the dead heads by 15 cm. Plant in a nice spot in your garden where the soil is not too dry or in a very large pot on your patio or balcony.

Frost resistance

They are not frost resistant.

Watering

Daily watering is recommended. Only the soil should be kept moist; avoid getting the flowers wet. This can cause burns if the wet flowers are exposed to the sun. A plant with 'dry feet' will have the most attractive flowers.

Soil type and fertilisation

It is best to plant Hy-pe hydrangeas in a special potting mix for hydrangeas. Your local garden centre is sure to have this special soil mix in stock. This plant flowers abundantly, therefore good fertilisation is very important. Do this in spring and autumn. 
The blue flower is originally pink. The acidity of the soil gradually turns the plant blue. The less lime and phosphate present in the soil, the bluer the flower. Special fertilisers for hydrangea influence the colour. 
Fertilisation is not necessary during the first year. 

Temperature

The ideal temperature is between 15 and 25 Celsius. 

Sun

A partially shaded sunny spot for the most attractive plant. Never plant white hydrangeas in full sun; the leaves will turn brown.
