Watering

Fertilizing

Hydrangea shrub feed every four weeks spring through early summer

Pruning

Use the method for the hydrangea type: remove faded mophead flowers to the first healthy bud pair; paniculata and arborescens may have last year's stems shortened to healthy bud pairs. Climbing hydrangeas need overlong shoots trimmed after flowering. Most types are pruned in late winter or early spring; climbing hydrangeas are pruned after flowering in summer.

Propagation

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

Growing

Best grown in moist but well-drained soil in part shade although tolerant of sun if soil remains moist; requires acid soil to produce the blue-purple colouring, in alkaline soils the flowers will become pink. See shrubby hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice
