Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Golden Penny Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Golden Penny')
Golden Penny Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Golden Penny') is a shrub that produces beautiful yellow and green variegated leaves and pink to blue flowers in the summer. It's important to note that this hydrangea is self-fertile, which means that it doesn't require pollen from another plant to produce fruit.
Golden Penny Hydrangea flowers are pollinated by insects such as bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. These insects are attracted to the nectar and pollen produced by the flowers. As they move from flower to flower, they transfer pollen from the male reproductive structures of one flower to the female reproductive structures of another flower. This process is called cross-pollination and it helps to ensure genetic diversity within a population of plants.
If you want to increase the chances of pollination and fruit set in your Golden Penny Hydrangea, you can plant other insect-attracting plants nearby. This will provide a diverse range of pollinators that can help with cross-pollination.
In summary, Golden Penny Hydrangea is a self-fertile shrub that is pollinated by insects such as bees and butterflies. Cross-pollination can be encouraged by planting other insect-attracting plants nearby.
