Suitability for cut flower production — Hydrangea macrophylla
Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) Ser.
The suitability of Hydrangea macrophylla for cut flower production is determined by its high moisture requirements and the need for specialized stem preparation. Maturity of the inflorescences and careful pruning management are critical factors, as buds are initiated on previous year's growth.
In the reference 288 varieties crop Bigleaf hydrangea, where this is mentioned in the description.
Hydrangea macrophylla is characterized by intense transpiration and a high susceptibility to wilting, which requires cut flowers to be placed in water immediately. To improve water uptake due to partial lignification of the stem, it is recommended to make a transverse or cross-shaped cut at the base and slightly crush the lower section.
The cultivation technology for cut flowers requires a three-year cycle from rooting to obtaining marketable product. Harvesting is carried out after the inflorescences reach full maturity; 'autumn' inflorescences possess the greatest vase life, remaining fresh for up to two weeks.
A key agrotechnical feature is the dependence of flowering on the previous year's shoots, which means that radical pruning leads to crop loss. Additionally, product quality depends on substrate acidity, which influences inflorescence color, making strict pH control necessary during cultivation.
