Care
Hydrangeas do not like drought and need a lot of water, especially in the summer. It is best to give the hydrangea a large amount of water all at once rather than a little every now and then. It can be planted from March to mid-October, either in the open ground or in an ornamental pot, although it grows best in the open ground. When planting, keep a distance of 75cm between plants. Pruning the plant is best done in March, about 30cm above the ground. The harder you prune back the hydrangea, the larger the flowers will grow.
Size
The plants have a height of 25-40cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 19cm.
