Care

• Trimming:
  Bouquet hydrangea blooms on annual shoots, so in early spring (March–April) it should be pruned low, leaving 2–3 buds on each shoot. This stimulates the formation of new, profusely flowering shoots.

• Fertilization:
  During the growing season, it is worth using fertilizers dedicated to hydrangeas or fertilizers for flowering plants. It is recommended to fertilize every 2–3 weeks.

• Mulching:
  Bark or compost mulch helps keep the soil moist and reduces weed growth.
