Cultivation Guide

  • Watering:

    Hydrangeas need regular watering, especially during warm periods, and prefer to have their roots kept moist but not waterlogged. 

  • Pruning:

    Pruning is generally recommended in early spring after the frosts have passed, removing dead or damaged shoots. 

  • Soil pH:
    The color of the flowers can be influenced by soil pH. Adding acidifying products like garden compost or manure can shift the color to mauve/violet, while lime can promote pink blooms.
