Description

‘Mariesii’ is a variegated Hydrangea that will truly stop you in your tracks because it has so much to look at! For starters, its boldly variegated leaves look as though someone used a paintbrush to paint a wide white border around the edges of its rich green leaves. Mariesii Variegated has a different style of bloom than the traditional mophead Hydrangea macrophylla. The 4″ wide lacecap flowers are comprised of bead-like florets at the center that do not open, but still show color. Surrounding the center is a outer layer of white or very faint-blue florets that are fertile and do in fact open. In acid soil the centers will be a deep gentian blue or pink in alkaline soil. The result is an absolutely beautiful plant with flowers that are great for fresh or dried floral arrangements.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing naturally 4 to 5 feet tall and wide in a rounded mound, the Mariesii Variegated Hydrangea is ideal for use as an accent or in groupings to provide texture and color in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Stands out best against a dark background. A fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, white theme gardens, cut flower gardens, cottage gardens, and partially shaded woodland gardens and borders.

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Hydrangea variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know that it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and place back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Mariesii Variegated Hydrangea is easy to grow in a moist well-drained soil of average fertility. Soil pH will effect flower color. An acid soil will create blue blooms and an alkaline soil creates pink flowers. The plants appreciate some afternoon shade or filtered sun in warmer climates but will tolerate more sun in cooler climates. We recommend at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day. This hydrangea does not require pruning however can be pruned.

Note: Mariesii Variegated is a Hydrangea macrophylla species that produces its flowers from buds that formed on “old wood” (during the previous year). This means that even though it is tempting to cut them back in the winter, when they are only bare sticks jutting out of the ground, don’t do it. The flower buds are already formed and hidden in those bare sticks, so don’t cut them off if you want flowers.

I had no idea this plant existed, I was looking around the web site and saw it. Ordered and within days it was at my front door incredibly packed ready to be put in the ground. I was so impressed with the care that this was packed I’m looking at other plants that are not readily available where I live to plant from Wilson Bros. My plant is still doing great and I’m looking forward to many years of enjoyment.————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

This shrub, the variegated hydrangea – Mariesii, is not easy to find, and seldom as robust and beautifully shaped as the 3-gallon specimen I ordered from Wilson Bros. I began to do a lot more plant shopping/ordering online in the last 18 months with varying degrees of satisfaction. Wilson Bros get absolutely top marks from me for the promptness of filling my order, to the highly professional and successful packaging and shipping. It’s a truly beautiful shrub, and it arrived totally intact and healthy. I recommend WB without reservation.————————————————-Wow!! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks very much for the kind words and wonderful review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Looks great, thank you! Both items arrived healthy and were reasonably priced for their size and apparent quality. The hydrangea promptly leafed out.——————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Lovely foliage on this hydrangea. I am a sucker for a variegated leaf! I ordered the 3 gallon size and it arrived very healthy looking and a generous size. The plant was packaged beautifully and delivery was quick. She went right into the ground on the day of her arrival (about 2 weeks ago), in a spot that doesn’t get full sun all day, and is doing great! I had a MUCH smaller hydrangea that I purchased at a local nursery days before which was eaten down to the stem by the neighborhood deer population. This one has managed to go unscathed so far. I can’t wait to see the flowers next year! Something to look forward to in these uncertain times! While I think this price is a bit higher than what I might find at my spendiest in town nursery, I haven’t found this particular variety and the free shipping definitely helps! I’ve actually purchased quite a few plants online and this was by far the best experience, quality. and care in packaging.—————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

The variegated cap leaf hydrangea is a beautiful plant that is very difficult to find in nurseries in the area and on-line. I grew them for years at my home on Cape Cod and upon moving to CT, was anxious to have them at my new home. This plant arrived in perfect condition – very well packaged. We planted it almost immediately and after 6 weeks it has grown substantially. Beautiful, healthy, unblemished leaves. A fabulous addition to our gardens. I highly recommend.—————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The two plants I ordered were wrapped and shipped very well. When I removed them from the carton they were in pots ready to be placed in the garden. No shock occurred at all. They had already bloomed so I will have to wait till next year to see the blooms. I was very pleased with my purchase.———————————————-Hi Bette, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Mariesii Variegated Lacecap Hydrangea.
