Hana-Takara represents a variety of large, double-flowered ball-shaped blooms originating from Japan, boasting an impressive size when fully opened. The name itself, "Hana-Takara," exudes a charming allure, encapsulating the essence of Japanese-imported double-flowered hydrangeas with their captivating array of color changes during blossoming, thereby presenting a remarkably high aesthetic value.
In this particular variety, the flowers exhibit a rounded shape, distinct from the elongated or delicate types, while the striped petals offer a diverse visual appeal. These petite round flowers contribute to the overall enchantment of the flower ball, accentuating its endearing charm. Emitting an aura of cuteness and sweetness, rather than delicacy and romance, this flower variety exudes a unique appeal. Hana-Takara is renowned for its color-adjustable nature, blooming primarily in spring, with certain cultivars continuing to blossom into the summer months under proper care.
Please note: The flowering hues vary significantly: in acidic soil, they display shades of blue or purple, while alkaline soil prompts the emergence of pink flowers. Even without color adjustments, they may bloom in pink, albeit less intensely. Initially tender yellow upon blooming, the flowers gradually transition to pink or blue along the petal edges.
Mature Hana-Takara plants tend to be compact with sturdy branches, excellent branching, multiple flowering shoots, and large, exquisite flower balls, exhibiting robust disease resistance, thereby rendering them easily manageable and particularly suitable for novice gardeners.
