Care Instructions

These instructions are sent with the plant gift

These hydrangeas are really easy going and with the right care they can bring pleasure for years.

Best kept in a pot on a patio or planted out in the garden, these hydrangeas are happy in a range of situations from full sun to dappled shade. The cooler you keep them the longer the flowers will last.

When the plant is in a small 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.

Like most paniculata hydrangea, they will grow the biggest blooms if you prune it back early spring, every year. Leave the spent blooms on the plant through winter to protect the buds. March to April, take off any weak or crossing branches and prune back each branch cutting just above the buds on the stems, creating good structure for the new growth to form from.

Problem Solving:

Scorching can be caused by direct sunlight, if you notice this move to a shadier position. If the leaves start to droop and the flowers start to curl you know your plant is thirsty, so water straight away.
