Watering

Even steady soil moisture, avoid full substrate drying completely

Fertilizing

Acid-loving hydrangea feed monthly spring through mid 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 a lightly shaded spot with shelter from cold, drying winds. This cultivar may need some protection in very hard winters. Mulch annually in spring. Soil additives may be required to maintain specific flower colours. See shrubby hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice
