Hydrangea
£32.50
Hydrangeas thrive in cool, partially shaded spots with rich, moist, well-draining soil, though specific varieties tolerate more sun. Avoid hot midday sun and windy locations, and improve clay soils with compost to retain moisture. Planting in autumn or spring is best, with an annual spring mulch to conserve moisture and feed the plant.
Ideal Conditions
Most hydrangeas prefer dappled or partial shade, particularly morning sun and afternoon shade. Avoid hot, direct sun that can burn the flowers and dry out the plant.
Container Growing
