Watering

Maintain evenly moist soil without standing water at root base

Fertilizing

Balanced liquid fertilizer every two to four weeks in growth period

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

Thrives in humus rich soil, that is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Position in sun or part-day shade; in warmer areas, plants may benefit from shade from hot afternoon sun. Mulch in spring, and provide shelter from cold, drying winds. See shrubby hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice
