Why Plant Hydrangeas in Your Garden?

  • Versatile Beauty: Hydrangeas thrive in part shade, making them ideal for many garden spots.
  • Long-lasting Blooms: Enjoy beautiful flowers from July to November.
  • Suffolk Soils: Thrives in moist, fertile soil, and the clay in Suffolk.
  • Variety: From mopheads to climbing hydrangeas, there’s a type for every garden.
  • Pollinator-Friendly: Some varieties attract beneficial insects.
  • Cut Flowers: Perfect for indoor arrangements.

How to Plant, Grow & Care for Hydrangeas

Planting Hydrangeas:

  • Location: Choose a cool, semi-shady spot, avoiding exposed east-facing sites.
  • Soil Preparation: Work plenty of organic matter into the soil before planting.
  • Spacing: Allow enough space for your hydrangea to reach its full width (60cm to 4m depending on type).

Planting Hydrangeas in Pots:

  • Smaller varieties like ‘Little Lime’ can thrive in pots.
  • Use soil-based compost and water regularly, with occasional summer feeding.

Caring for Hydrangeas:

  • Watering: Keep newly planted hydrangeas well-watered during dry spells. Established plants typically need less frequent watering but ensure deep watering during prolonged dry spells.
  • Feeding: Apply a mulch in autumn to conserve moisture.
  • Pruning: Prune shrubby hydrangeas in March and climbing ones in July or August, after flowering.

Seasonal Care Checklist:

  • Spring: Prune all hydrangeas except climbing types.
  • Summer: Water newly planted and potted hydrangeas during dry spells; prune climbing types after flowering.
  • Autumn: Mulch around plant bases and pick flowers for indoor arrangements.
  • Winter: Hold off pruning until the end of winter to protect buds from frost.

Frequently Asked Questions – Hydrangeas Plants

Yellow leaves in autumn are normal as the plant goes dormant. In spring or summer, yellowing may indicate root issues, dryness, or nutrient deficiency. Water well and feed if needed.

Young plants may need a year to settle. Mature plants might not flower due to hard pruning, drought, or high nitrogen fertilizers. Ensure proper care and pruning.

Prune shrubby types in March and climbing ones after flowering in summer. Trim spent flowers back to healthy buds.

Soil pH affects flower color. Acidic soil yields blue flowers, while alkaline soil turns them pink. Consider potted plants for maintaining blue blooms with appropriate feed.

Enhancing Your Garden with Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas plants pair beautifully with trees, shrubs and shade-tolerant perennials like pulmonaria, epimedium, and Geranium macrorrhizum. These companions flower in spring and early summer, complementing the hydrangeas’ later blooms.
