Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink' | Hydrangea

The Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink' is a stunning cultivar known for its vibrant pink blossoms that enchant any garden space. This Hydrangea variety boasts a lush green foliage backdrop, allowing the pink, purple, and sometimes blue hues of its flowers to truly stand out. Ideal for creating a soft, romantic ambience, it flourishes from mid-summer to late summer, bringing life and color to your garden for an extended period.

Key Features

The Hydrangea is a versatile plant that can be used in borders, as a standout solitary feature, or in planters for terrace and balcony decoration.
It prefers well-drained soil of any type and thrives in locations with partial shade.
This variety has a robust growth pattern that is upright to bushy, and it can reach up to 1 meter in height.
Its deciduous foliage maintains a vibrant green color through spring, summer, and autumn, serving as a perfect canvas for its pink floral display.
Although not fragrant, the blooms are visually striking and make up for their lack of scent with their beauty and longevity.

Tips

Ensure that the Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink' receives an ample amount of water, as it is not drought resistant and flourishes with consistent moisture.
Propagation can be achieved through softwood cuttings in the spring or hardwood cuttings in autumn, with both methods requiring well-fertilized soil for optimal growth.
Prune the Hydrangea after blooming to encourage healthy growth and flowering for the following year, as it blooms on the previous year's growth.
For gardeners in colder climates, take care to protect your Hydrangea during harsh winter months to enjoy its splendid blooms year after year.

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

The ideal setting for this variety is one that provides partial shade, as too much direct sunlight can affect the vibrancy of its blooms and increase water demands. These plants thrive in an environment where they can enjoy morning sunlight and afternoon shade or dappled light throughout the day. Ensuring the soil is well-drained is vital to prevent waterlogging, which could harm the plant's root system. Despite its adaptability to various soils, it is imperative that the ground retains moisture, as this species requires a substantial amount of water to maintain its lush foliage and produce its characteristic summer blooms.

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

When planting Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink', select a location that offers partial shade to protect the plant from intense afternoon sun. The soil should be well-drained, yet retain moisture as this species requires ample water to thrive. It is adaptable to various soil types. Planting is optimal when done in spring or autumn, allowing roots to establish before extreme weather conditions. Ensure the root ball is level with the ground surface and water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. Regular watering is crucial, especially during drier periods, to maintain its lush, vibrant blooms.

Pruning a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink'

Prune Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink' minimally, as it flowers on the previous year's growth. Immediately after flowering, remove only spent blooms and any dead or crossing branches to encourage healthy growth and bloom production for the following season. Avoid significant pruning late in the season or in early spring, as this could remove the developing flower buds and reduce the floral display. Always use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts, which will help the shrub maintain its vigorous, bushy growth habit.

Watering a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink'

The Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink' has substantial water needs, particularly during the flowering period from June to September. To maintain its lush foliage and vibrant blooms, it requires consistent moisture. In the partial shade where it thrives, soil can retain water longer, but it's crucial to ensure the soil remains well-drained to avoid waterlogging. During dry spells, a deep watering is beneficial to saturate the soil, reaching the root zone. For those grown in pots or planters, vigilance in watering is key, as the soil can dry out more rapidly than in garden beds.

Fertilising a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink'

To ensure the sumptuous pink blooms of Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® Pink' reach their full potential, a consistent fertilization regimen is key. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer as new growth appears in the spring. This will sustain the plant's nutritional needs throughout its active growing season. Additionally, a second application in early summer can bolster the shrub's energy for producing its characteristic lush flowers and robust green foliage.

It's important to avoid over-fertilization, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of blooms. A well-measured approach supports not only the vibrant coloring of the summer and autumn flowers but also fortifies the plant's overall health, setting the stage for impressive growth year after year.
