Hydrangeas are a woodland plant with attractive long-lasting flowers. With the right care they can bring years of pleasure in a garden.
Best kept in a pot on a patio or planted out in the garden, your hydrangea will be happiest in a sheltered spot in partial shade.
When the plant is in a pot it will need regular watering. Water from the top and let the excess drain away. You can stand in very shallow water – but don’t let the plant get too waterlogged. The top of the soil should be damp to the touch at all times.
As the plant grows it should be potted in a larger container or in the ground. In summer try and keep the plant in the cool partly-shaded position, either outside on a sheltered patio or plant it in a shady spot in your garden and it will bring you attractive summer flowers for years.
It is widely thought to be best to leave the last flush of flowers on the plant through the winter when planted outside to protect you plant through the coldest months, you can neaten them up in spring and prune off all of the old damaged growth as soon as they start to grow green shoots.
Problem Solving:
Scorching can be caused by direct sunlight and so do move it to a shadier position at the first sign of trouble.
If the leaves start to droop and the flowers start to curl you know it is thirsty, so water straight away.
