Your hydrangea will require little maintenance and is a great choice for novice gardeners. Before planting prepare your hole with some organic fertiliser and add some food preferably containing fish blood and bones. It is best planted in early spring after the frosts. If planted in summer daily watering will be required until the plant becomes established. Feed with a balanced fertiliser during spring and early summer, however this does depend on the quality of the soil, if it is good and rich this may not be required. Do not feed after mid summer as this may cause a spurt in growth and may affect the size of next years flowers. A good indication of lack of food is if the new flowers are smaller. Do not remove old flower heads until spring as they are there to protect the plant during the winter. This plant will need no special requirements during the winter months.
When should I prune back my Hydrangea:
We suggest waiting until Febrary/March when the frosts have gone. The dead flower heads will protect the plant over the winter months. When the frosts have finished cut it back by approximately a quarter and remove any weak or frost damaged shoots to the healthy wood.
