Hydrangeas are a unique, experimental crop for our botanical garden. Because in our conditions, hydrangeas do not feel very good; they need a special substrate, constant humidity, and fertilizing. If they take root, they will be very beautiful bushes,” landscape architect of the botanical garden Yana Petrova told TASS.

According to her, there are two types of hydrangeas in the garden: paniculate hydrangea and tree hydrangea. The garden staff planted both species in different colors: pink, pink-purple, green and white. A total of 24 copies are presented.
