Pollination Info
Grin and Tonic Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Hokomagrito') Pollination Info
Grin and Tonic Hydrangeas, like other hydrangea plants, are primarily pollinated by bees. These plants produce large, showy flowers that are attractive to bees seeking nectar and pollen. Bees help transfer pollen from one flower to another, leading to fertilization and the production of seeds.
It is important to have a healthy population of bees in the area to ensure proper pollination of Grin and Tonic Hydrangeas. Gardeners can attract bees by planting a variety of flowering plants and avoiding the use of pesticides that can harm these important pollinators.
Additionally, gardeners can hand-pollinate hydrangea flowers if needed. This can be done by transferring pollen from one bloom to another using a small brush or cotton swab. However, it is usually not necessary as bees are efficient pollinators of hydrangea plants.
