| Top Tips |
Pruning
Prune in late winter before growth begins. Blooms on new wood, so pruning encourages strong stems and larger flower heads. Remove spent flower heads and thin out weak, damaged, or crossing branches. Watering Regular deep watering is important, especially in the first growing season. More drought-tolerant than mophead hydrangeas, but soil should stay evenly moist—not waterlogged. Mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilizing Feed in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. A light mid-summer feed can help boost flower performance and colour. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers to prevent excessive leaf growth at the expense of blooms. Top Tips • Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. • Sunlight: Sun-loving and heat-tolerant, ideal for brighter garden positions. • Structure: Strong, upright stems prevent flopping and make it excellent for cut and dried flower use. • Seasonal Interest: Ageing flowers provide beautiful colour shifts and winter interest when left on the plant. • Reliable & Low Maintenance: Very hardy, easy to grow, and tolerant of a range of garden conditions. |
