Hydrangea serrata Santiago - Mountain Hydrangea

Choose a spot where it will receive the morning or late afternoon sun, sheltered from the midday sun. You can place it at the foot of a wall or in the light shade of a taller tree. Plant in neutral to acidic soil. A good fertiliser will promote the recovery of your plant and nourish it 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 plan for a watering basin on the surface. 

At the end of summer, leave the dry umbels on the plant as they will protect the terminal shoots in winter. Remove the dry flowers at the end of February or at the first sign of warm weather.
