Description
With a long blooming season that starts in late spring or early summer and continues into fall, the Zebra Hydrangea produces abundant clusters of ivory flowers perched atop deep black stems, hence the name ‘Zebra’. The black and white color combination, along with the deep green leaves, makes for a stunning floral display in the garden and in indoor cut flower arrangements. The 5-inch wide flower clusters emerge green and age to ivory white and are held on exceptionally strong stems that don’t flop. A glowing addition to the garden.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a rounded mound 3 to 4 feet tall and equally as wide, the Zebra Hydrangea ideal for use as a specimen or accent in smaller landscape spaces and home foundation plantings, flowering shrub borders and perennial gardens. In larger landscape spaces it is stunning in groupings or in straight or staggered rows as a colorful hedge. Suitable for growing in pots, planters and other containers and is a fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, white theme gardens, black and white theme gardens, cottage gardens and Asian gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedges; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants
How To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area
How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Planting Zone 5a, where this Hydrangea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Zebra Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil with average fertility and full sun to part shade in northern zones above 7 and part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun) in southern zones 7 and below. For best flowering, we suggest 4 hours of direct sun light per day. As with so many other ornamental plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic.
Note: Zebra is a Hydrangea macrophylla species that produces its flowers from buds that formed on “old wood” (during the previous year). This means that even though it is tempting to cut them back in the winter, when they are only bare sticks jutting out of the ground, don’t do it. The flower buds are already formed and hidden in those bare sticks, so don’t cut them off if you want flowers.
