Watering

Fertilizing

Hydrangea feed in spring and again 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. Prune in late spring.

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. See shrubby hydrangea cultivation
