Description
The Hydrangea or Hydrangea macrophylla Salsa is an amazing novelty with large bicolor red and white inflorescences from the Dutch Ladies hydrangea series, offering short and floribundus plants. On a compact bush, superb balls of flowers bloom in summer, first deep pink almost red marked with pink-white at the heart, then white bordered with bright pink, a very changing colour, marked with very pink reflections, sublimated by autumn leaves becoming purple. The plant performs very well in the garden, in large pots and gives beautiful cut flowers for the house.
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Salsa' is a plant that comes from crossing two species: H. macrophylla and H. aspera, among others. They are both hardy plants from the Hydrangeae family, initially from China and Japan. 'Salsa' is part of a group of plants chosen for their compact, dense habit and abundant flowers, which are 14-15 cm (5.5-5.9 in) in size. This shrub has a neat, rounded shape and grows up to 1 metre (3 ft 4 in) in all directions. Its flowers bloom from July to September to October and are a beautiful pink-red shade with a white-pink centre. The flowers grow on dark green-purple, glossy, waffled, deciduous leaves. The leaves are wide, opposite, and have a rough, saw-like edge. In this variety, the juvenile foliage is a bronze-purple colour. Hydrangeas can live for at least 50 years.
The Hydrangea 'Salsa' is a beautiful plant that produces colourful blooms from spring to autumn. It can be planted in gardens, terraces or indoors and is adaptable to different exposures, whether in full sun or partial shade. This plant is ideal for container gardening and can be displayed near the entrance of your home in a beautiful pot.
Although the Hydrangea 'Salsa' doesn't tolerate limestone well, it is not considered an ericaceous plant. To complement its round shape, combine it with magellanica fuchsias or annual impatiens, or plant it in front of spring-flowering bulbs. Enjoy its beautiful and long-lasting blooms in the garden or indoors.

Planting and care
If you want to grow Hydrangea macrophylla Salsa, plant it in a slightly shaded spot during spring or early autumn, such as against an east-facing wall or to the north. If you live in a very cold region, it's better to overwinter it in a cold greenhouse or veranda, even though it can survive temperatures as low as -15°C. Cold and drying winds can hurt the plant, so protecting it from them is essential.
The plant doesn't need acidic soil, but it prefers deep, fresh and well-drained soil with moderate fertility. Before planting, you can enrich the soil with a good base fertiliser. If the soil is dry at the base of the wall, plant the root ball at least 30-40 cm (11.8-15.7 in) from the base and include plenty of well-rotted compost to retain the soil's freshness.
Hydrangea macrophylla Salsa is very hardy and can be grown in cold regions without fear of damage. To prune the plant, remove the faded flowers on the first bud or on the pair of buds directly below. When the plant is mature, cut back a quarter or a third of the oldest stems to encourage the formation of young shoots. This pruning should be done every year during March and April.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
