Nov-AprilHydrangea Arborescence Live Stakes offer a range of benefits when incorporated into landscaping designs, making them a popular choice among landscape designers and enthusiasts. Their distinctive characteristics, versatility, and aesthetic appeal contribute to their value in creating beautiful outdoor spaces.
The massive blossoms of a Hydrangea Arborescence Live Stakes are a sight. Their circular or dome-shaped flower heads are collections of numerous tiny flowers packed closely together. Delicate and papery in texture, the individual blossoms range from pink to green and even creamy white, depending on the cultivar. The flowers can extend up to 12 inches in diameter, creating a striking and verdant overall impression.
The texture of them is rougher than that of mophead variants. Their leaves are glossy, narrow, and shaped like hearts. To keep the leaf apart from the main stem, the leaves have lengthy stalks. When planted close together, these stakes create dramatic, textured backdrops. And when shaped into more upright shrubs, their sturdy and woody stems add a structural element to garden areas and other outdoor spaces. Leaving the wasted flowerheads on the bushes all winter gives the garden a one-of-a-kind visual and textural surprise, as the dried flowers add a touch of rustic beauty.
Hydrangea Arborescence Live Stakes produce white blossoms starting in the middle of summer. These blooms open into enormous snowballs, many of which are nearly as big as a basketball. As the temperatures get more relaxed, the flowers develop a jade green hue, which persists even after the first frost. This jade green tone transitions to shades of yellow, gold, and bronze before the leaves fall off in the winter. Their dried flowerheads can be any shade of tan or brown. Newly planted arborescence plants don't usually bloom during their first year of growth.
Plants with this compact and rounded growth habit are great for lining borders and defining walkways. Their coarsely textured, dark green foliage gives gardens the illusion of more life and vitality. Many people use them to frame entryways to their gardens. You can even mix them with other plants, like decorative grasses or perennials, to make varied and beautiful border plantings along walkways.

After planting, water them thoroughly and maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, to help root development. With proper care and sound conditions, live stakes will root successfully in 6-8 weeks and assist in soil stabilization and habitat restoration.
