Care Guide

Cultivation

Grow in moist but well-drained, humus rich soil, with shelter from cold, drying winds, and provide an annual mulch in spring. This cultivar needs careful positioning; some sun is needed to develop the colour but too much will scorch the flowers. See hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice

Pruning

See pruning group 4 (hydrangeas)

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings in early summer, or by hardwood cuttings in winter

May be susceptible to aphids, capsid bug, red spider mite, stem and bulb eelworm, vine weevil and scale insects
