Watering

Fertilizing

Hydrangea shrub feed every four weeks spring through early summer

Pruning

Routine pruning is unnecessary; shorten overlong shoots to fit the available space. Prune after flowering has finished.

Propagation

Propagate by layering, softwood cuttings in early or midsummer, or semi-ripe cuttings in late summer

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained, humus rich soil, in sun or partial shade with shelter from cold, drying winds and from late frosts, which may damage young leaf and bud growth. See climbing hydrangea cultivation for detailed advice
