How do I plant a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bouquet Rose'?

Soil preparation is crucial for the successful planting of Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bouquet Rose'. Proper soil preparation ensures the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients, which is vital for plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves water permeability and nutrient availability. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant determines the number of plants per square metre. For Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bouquet Rose', consider planting 1 to 2 plants per m². For more detailed planting instructions, follow the guidelines carefully.

Pruning a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bouquet Rose'

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bouquet Rose' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This plant does not require frequent pruning, but removing dead or crossing branches can improve air circulation and prevent disease. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can stimulate new blooms. Use clean, sharp secateurs or pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant. Regular maintenance helps keep the plant looking its best and supports vibrant flowering throughout the season.

Watering a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bouquet Rose'

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bouquet Rose' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers consistent moisture, so water deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. This ensures the roots receive adequate hydration. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. During dry spells, increase watering frequency. Check the soil regularly; if it feels dry, it's time to water. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether planted in the ground or in pots. Using collected rainwater is beneficial. Initially, hand watering is necessary until the plant is well-rooted, after which drip irrigation can be effective. This plant is not particularly drought-resistant, so regular attention is needed.

Fertilising a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bouquet Rose'

Using organic fertilisers is recommended, as they prevent root and leaf burn that can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are ideal choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to support the plant's vitality. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, water the garden to help release nutrients into the soil for the roots to uptake.
