Hydrangea macrophylla Hovaria Hobergine

This hydrangea requires a sunny or semi-shady location depending on the moisture of your soil. It prefers neutral to acidic soil. Plant it in deeply worked soil. A good base fertiliser (horn or dried blood) will promote the growth of your plant without the risk of burning. If your soil tends to be dry, mix our water retainer, stockosorb, with the soil when filling the planting hole and provide a watering basin on the surface. At the end of summer, leave the dry umbels on the shrub. They will protect the terminal shoots of the branches in winter. You can cut all the dry flowers at the end of February or at the first signs of spring.
