Variety traits
Hydrangea L.
Remontancy in hydrangeas is the plant's ability to develop flower buds and bloom on both previous year's woody stems and current season's growth.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Hydrangea, where this is mentioned in the description.
In non-remontant varieties, flower buds are set exclusively on the previous year's stems; therefore, if these are damaged by frost or pruning, blooming in the current season becomes impossible. Remontant varieties mitigate this risk by ensuring flowering through buds that develop on new shoots of the current year.
This trait is assessed qualitatively by observing two flushes of flowering or the presence of generative buds on young growth. Remontancy changes the approach to agrotechnics, allowing for more flexible pruning, as a portion of the inflorescences is guaranteed to form on current-season shoots, which increases the reliability of flowering.
