How do I plant a Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen'?

This process ensures the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients, which is crucial for healthy 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 quercifolia 'Snow Queen', follow specific planting instructions for optimal results.

Pruning a Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen'

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen' 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.

Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can stimulate new blooms. Use clean, sharp secateurs or pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant. Keeping tools clean helps prevent the spread of any potential diseases. Regular maintenance ensures the plant remains healthy and visually appealing.

Watering a Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen'

Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen' requires careful watering to thrive. This plant prefers a generous amount of water rather than frequent small amounts.

During dry, sunny periods, more frequent watering may be necessary. Rainwater can be an excellent resource for this purpose. Ensure that excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Once established, this plant can tolerate some drought, but young plants need regular watering to develop strong roots. Drip irrigation systems are effective once the plant is well-rooted, but initial hand watering is essential.

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 moderate sprinkle 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 plant's roots to uptake.
