Description
Hydrangea serrata ‘Shôjo’ is a particularly striking hydrangea due to the colour contrast of its flowers against its leaves. Its large, delicate, flat inflorescences, endowed with sterile pink to light blue florets surround fertile blue florets on dark green foliage that develops a magnificent brown-red colour at the end of summer. Its compact size adapts well to cultivation in large containers or in shaded or sunny flower beds, in non-limestone soil.
Originating from Japan and Korea, Hydrangea serrata are very hardy plants, belonging to the Hydrangeaceae family. Presenting itself as a ramified, bushy and rounded shrub, 'Shôjo' will reach approximately 1m (3ft) in height and spread, depending on growing conditions. It stands out for its dark green leaves, smaller and more ovate than those of Hydrangea macrophylla. They take on a beautiful red hue from the end of summer. Very floriferous, its flat, airy panicles bloom from the beginning of June, and fade in lovely shades. The sterile flowers are of a light blue to pink colour depending on the acidity of the soil and surround fertile flowers in the shape of buttons, of a light blue colour. This very hardy variety can even be used under more continental climates. Hydrangeas are robust plants that can live at least 50 years.
Hydrangea serrata 'Shôjo' particularly appreciates moist soils. Hydrangeas are well known for brightening up the north side of houses. This one will be happy in a sunny but not burning exposure, or in half-shade, in flower beds as well as hedges. This variety is particularly suitable for container cultivation on a terrace or near a doorway. They are not strictly ericaceous plants. Combine them with magellanica fuchsias or annual impatiens, or plant spring-flowering bulbs in front of their round silhouette. Enjoy their sumptuous flowering in the garden or in the house for a long time.

Planting and care
Choose a spot where it will receive the morning or late afternoon sun, sheltered from the midday sun. You can place it at the foot of a wall or in the light shade of a taller tree. A good fertiliser will promote the recovery of your plant and nourish it without the risk of burning. If your soil tends to be dry, mix our water retainer, stockosorb, with the soil when filling the planting hole and plan for a watering basin on the surface.
At the end of the summer, leave the dry umbels on the plant as they will protect the terminal shoots in winter. Remove the dry flowers at the end of February or at the first sign of warm weather.

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.
