Pruning a Hydrangea quercifolia 'Burgundy'

Pruning Hydrangea quercifolia 'Burgundy' is beneficial for maintaining its shape and encouraging healthy growth. It is best to prune this plant in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent the spread of disease. Regular pruning helps keep the plant compact and suitable for small gardens.

Watering a Hydrangea quercifolia 'Burgundy'

The Hydrangea quercifolia 'Burgundy' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers a generous amount of water when needed, rather than small daily amounts.

This plant is not particularly drought-resistant, so regular monitoring is essential.

Fertilising a Hydrangea quercifolia 'Burgundy'

Organic fertilisers are recommended as they prevent root and leaf burn, which can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are ideal choices. Apply fertiliser twice a year, in spring and summer. The amount depends on the plant's size, but generally, a handful around the base is sufficient. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, watering the garden helps release them into the soil for the roots to uptake.
