Cultural Macrophylla thrive in a part-shade position, protected from harsh sun and strong winds. They prefer rich, porous, and consistently moist soil to perform at their best. After flowering, it's ideal to deadhead and prune them to maintain their shape; if necessary, they can be cut back quite hard without harm. For optimal growth, feed them with an organic slow-release fertiliser in late spring. White varieties do not change colour, no matter the pH. Hydrangea Care & Maintenance Landscape Uses Hydrangeas, with their large, showy blooms, make stunning focal points in garden beds and borders. Compact varieties thrive in large pots, making them perfect for adding beauty to patios, balconies, or courtyards. Their long-lasting, vibrant flowers are ideal for cutting and displaying indoors, and they are especially popular for wedding displays and floral arrangements. Perfect for both cottage and formal gardens, Hydrangeas pair beautifully with other traditional favourites like Camellias, Magnolias, and Azaleas. Dimensions Height to 2.0m Width to 1.5m
