Growing tips

Propagated by cuttings and cuttings. In cold regions, do not plant until mid-May. Can be overwintered outdoors, but cover with fleece or other protective objects. Ideally, the soil should be loose, rich in humus, moist and slightly acidic with pH values between 5 and 6. For some species, the pH value is also decisive for the color of the flowers. Shallow rooters. Water particularly well in the first few days after planting. Use hydrangea or rhododendron fertilizer. Only fertilize until the end of July. How to prune in spring depends on the type of hydrangea. Blends well with boxwood, funkia, star coneflowers, astilbes, rhododendrons, flowering dogwoods, colorful anemones, lady's mantle, Christmas or spring roses, lush green ferns, flowering meadow knotweed and shade grasses.
