Watering

Consistently moist root zone, add extra water during warm dry weather

Fertilizing

Hydrangea shrub feed every four weeks spring through early summer

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings in early summer or hardwood cuttings in winter

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained soil in part shade or in sun if soil remains reliably moist - see shrubby hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice
