Tips

Ensure that the Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White' receives ample water, as it has high moisture requirements, especially during the warmer months.
For potted or planter specimens of this Hydrangea, monitoring soil moisture is crucial to maintain its health and vibrant blooms.
To maintain its shape and promote more abundant flowering, consider pruning after the plant has finished blooming in the late autumn or early spring.

Ideal placement of a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White'

For optimal flourishing, Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White' should be positioned where it can bask in partial shade. This ensures the blooms maintain their vibrant white color without being bleached by the intensity of full sun. While the shrub is compatible with a variety of soil types, it is imperative that the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot. The location should also allow for ample watering, as this variety has a high thirst, especially during the bloom period from June to September. A sheltered spot that avoids strong winds can help protect its delicate flowers and fragrant foliage.

How do I plant a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White'?

To ensure a thriving start for Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White', plant it in a location that receives partial shade, as too much sun can affect its blooming and foliage. The soil should be well-drained yet moisture-retentive to accommodate its high water needs. When planting, select a pot or garden spot with ample room for the shrub to reach its full size of around 1 meter in height. Water generously after planting to settle the soil around the roots and maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry periods to support its lush growth and fragrant, white blooms throughout the flowering season.

Pruning a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White'

Pruning of Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White' is essential to encourage robust growth and abundant blooms. It is best performed in late winter or early spring as new buds begin to form. Remove any dead or old wood, cutting back to a pair of healthy buds. It is also advisable to thin out the center of the shrub to improve air circulation. Be cautious not to over-prune, as this species flowers on old wood. Regularly deadheading spent blooms can also promote further flowering throughout the season.

Watering a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White'

This species thrives when adequately hydrated, necessitating ample watering, particularly during its blooming period from June to September. To maintain consistent soil moisture, an even watering routine is crucial, avoiding both waterlogged soil and dry spells. An effective practice is to check the topsoil for dryness and water deeply when the first inch feels dry to the touch. During peak summer heat, increased vigilance in watering may be necessary to sustain the lush, vibrant white blooms and fragrant green foliage.

Fertilising a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White'

To promote lush blooms and vigorous health, fertilizing Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White' is pivotal. Commence feeding in early spring as the plant breaks dormancy, and continue through the blooming season, ceasing in late summer to prevent new growth susceptible to frost. Utilize a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed for flowering shrubs, ensuring application instructions are followed to avoid over-fertilization, which can lead to bloom inhibition and potential root harm.

Additionally, for this particular Hydrangea, maintaining a slightly acidic soil pH can enhance the vibrancy of the white blooms. If necessary, incorporate soil amendments such as sulfur or peat moss to adjust pH levels. Regular fertilization, coupled with optimal watering practices, will result in an impressive display of fragrant, white flowers throughout the summer months.
