Hydrangea arborescens L.
This trait characterizes the plant habit, with typical values ranging from 90 to 180 cm, and reaching 3 meters in exceptional cases. Height is directly related to the resistance of the shoots to lodging under the weight of the inflorescences.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Smooth hydrangea, where this is mentioned in the description.
The typical plant height for Hydrangea arborescens is 90–180 cm, with a range of 1.2–2.5 m being considered the norm for most garden cultivars. High growth rates often correlate with reduced shoot strength, which leads to the bush lodging under the weight of large inflorescences during rainfall and wind.
The trait can be managed through agronomic practices: hard pruning to a height of about 15 cm from the soil level allows for limiting the overall height of the plant in the current season and increasing stem strength. In breeding selection, height is considered a key parameter for a cultivar's suitability for container cultivation or landscape design.
