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

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Afternoon shade is beneficial
