Watering

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

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 by hardwood cuttings in winter

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained, humus rich soil, in sun or part-day shade. Mulch in spring, and provide shelter from cold, drying winds. See shrubby hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice
