Ich möchte unbedingt Hortensien vor meinem Haus pflanzen. Es würde sich auf der Nordseite meines Hauses befinden, so dass es die meiste Zeit im Schatten oder in der indirekten Sonne liegt. Aber am Nachmittag würde diese Seite des Hauses ziemlich intensive Sonne bekommen. Ich würde 3-4 Stunden Nachmittagssonne schätzen.
Ich befinde mich in Zone 7B mit überwiegend lehmigem Boden.
Ich weiß, dass Hortensien bei teilweiser Sonne besser gedeihen und mache mir Sorgen, dass dies zu viel Sonne/zu intensive Sonne für sie wäre.
Habt ihr alle eine Meinung?
Dies ist die Sorte, die ich mir anschaue: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com/products/vanilla-strawberry-hydrangea?variant=41448813527102

I am in the same zone, my hydrangeas are south facing and face the midday light/heat directly. It can be tough for them getting started if you get really immature plants. The larger plant you start with, the more success you will have. I tried with several of the little plant in a bag thing when I first started. Tried for probably 2 years and they all died. So start with bigger plants and they should be ok. Some may get scorched leaves, but they can handle it as long g as they get some shade in the day. Also other people occasionally use umbrellas or set up shade tarps in the heat of summer to protect their plants from the intense light, so that is also an option. Also you will have to water every day when it is hot, especially the first year. Dont plant them when it’s already 100 degrees or they may not transplant well.
Depends on what type of hydrangeas. Paniculatas or panicles (pic in the post) needs sun to bloom. Smooth hydrangeas does better in partial shade, gets scorched in direct sun. All varieties need lots of water. They don’t like dry spell. I think panicle hydrangea will do better in that location but make sure to water deep in summer maybe daily if it gets intense afternoon sun.
What is pictured are PG’s they’re a bit more tolerant with sun than the mophead or lace caps I’ve found. I get full sun from 1 PM til sundown where I have my PG’s are planted, as long as they get a good soak they resist scorch far better than the other types in my experience.
I think they’re more sensitive to heat than sun. I have one that gets 8+ hours midday sun and it does great. We have mild summers and a lot of moisture.
