Watering: Water your hydrangea regularly throughout its first growing season, as well as during hot, dry spells once established.
Feeding: While established plants don't typically require feeding, an initial feed with general fertiliser can be beneficial post-planting.
Pruning: Leave spent flowerheads on over winter to protect new buds. In late winter or early spring, cut back to the first pair of healthy buds. For established plants, consider removing a couple of older stems from the base annually to encourage new growth.
Pests & Diseases: While generally healthy, hydrangeas can be affected by aphids, scale insects, leaf spot and mildews.
