SKYFALL hydrangea was bred by the same man behind sevenbark hydrangeas Candybelle® Bubblegum a Candybelle® Marshmallow and one panicle hydrangea LITTLE FRESCO – Guido Rouwette from the Netherlands. It was granted a European patent No. 58372 in 2021.
SKYFALL is a panicle hydrangea of compact habit and small size. From mid July it produces large inflorescence packed with hyacinth-like individual flowers which emerge pale lime green, changing to cream white, and maturing to very pale pink in August and September. The plant forms nice shrubs with erect and strong branches reaching a little over one meter in height and a little less in width. Deciduous leaves are ovate, medium green, and healthy. Plants require hard pruning in early spring (March) – cut back all last year’s growth to some 10 cm only and remove all thin or ill branches to encourage new and strong growth. SKYFALL was awarded Silver Medal at GrootGroenPlus in 2019.
It will grow in almost any soil type, preferably humus-rich, moist soil that will not be too heavy or shallow. Once established it does not need extra watering like big-leaf hydrangeas. Full sun is best but it will grow in part shade, too. Feeding is much recommended to enhance flower size. Plants are hardy to at least -34 °C (USDA zone 4) and suitable for outdoor planters.
