Watering

Constantly damp acidic soil layer, mulch top to lock steady moisture

Fertilizing

Acidic hydrangea feed twice yearly spring and early summer months

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 or hardwood cuttings

Growing

Grows best in a moist but well-drained soil in partial shade, although tolerant of sun if the soil remains moist. See shrubby hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice
