Watering

Maintain consistent soil moisture, avoid complete drying of root zone

Fertilizing

Add slow-release shrub fertilizer twice yearly in early spring and mid-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

For home use, propagate by softwood cuttings in early summer or hardwood cuttings in winter

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade or sun if the soil remains reliably moist. See shrubby hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice
