Lodging in Hydrangea macrophylla

Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) Ser.

In Hydrangea macrophylla, lodging manifests as the drooping of stems under the weight of inflorescences, which diminishes the ornamental value of the shrub and its resistance to adverse weather conditions.

In the reference 114 varieties crop Bigleaf hydrangea, where this is mentioned in the description.

For this crop, the trait does not have standardized quantitative assessment scales and is described by qualitative characteristics of stem strength. Lodging is considered an undesirable change in plant habit that requires the use of supports or specific pruning techniques.

Resistance to lodging is directly related to morphological stem characteristics, such as stem diameter. Breeding efforts indicate that an increase in stem thickness, characteristic of some tetraploid forms, facilitates better retention of large inflorescences in an upright position.
