Hortensia à grandes feuilles
Hydrangea macrophylla
Un arbuste ligneux décidu à fleurs de la famille des Hydrangeaceae, originaire du Japon, de Chine, de Corée et d'Asie du Sud-Est, longtemps cultivé comme le classique « hortensia » ou hydrangea français. NC State Extension décrit un arbuste arrondi de 3 à 6 feet de hauteur et de largeur, aux grandes feuilles opposées, simples et dentées (4-8 inches de longueur) et aux grands bouquets floraux en boule ou en coupelle plate à la fin du printemps et en été, en blanc, rose, bleu ou violet. La couleur des fleurs obéit de façon bien connue à la chimie du sol — les sols acides donnent des fleurs bleues et les sols alcalins les font virer au rose. Il demande une protection contre le soleil de l'après-midi et une humidité régulière, ce qui en fait un incontournable des plantations en pied de mur ombragées et des bordures de sous-bois.

2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
