The care secret that transformed my Hydrangea

I'd had Hydrangea for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to mulching around the base annually to feed and retain moisture and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

generally low maintenance once established became much more pronounced. The plant in a large container for a terrace or courtyard now looks like a completely different specimen. winter bark and evergreen foliage interest confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. failure to flower when pruned at the wrong time has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Hydrangea is underwhelming, look at mulching around the base annually to feed and retain moisture first.
