Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can greatly enhance these conditions. 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 at planting determines the number of plants per square metre. For this shrub, approximately 3 to 4 plants per m² are recommended. For more detailed planting instructions, consider the specific needs of your garden.

Pruning a Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Spooky'

Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Spooky' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its compact shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent disease. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can also promote new blooms. Use clean, sharp secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts. Keeping tools clean is important to prevent the spread of any potential plant diseases. Regular pruning ensures a tidy appearance and vibrant flowering.

Watering a Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Spooky'

Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Spooky' thrives with consistent watering, especially during its blooming period from July to September. It prefers a generous soak rather than frequent light watering. This ensures the roots receive adequate moisture, promoting healthy growth. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. Checking the soil is crucial; water only when the top layer feels dry. Rainwater can be an excellent alternative to tap water. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether planted in the ground or in pots. While this plant is not highly drought-resistant, once established, it can tolerate short dry spells. Initially, supplement drip irrigation with manual watering until the plant is well-rooted.

Fertilising a Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Spooky'

Fertilising Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Spooky' is essential for its growth and vitality. Regular feeding supports its compact growth and ensures a long-lasting bloom from July to September. Using organic fertilisers is recommended to avoid root and leaf burn, which can occur with chemical alternatives. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are ideal choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to provide consistent nutrients. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size. Ensure nutrients reach the roots by watering the garden during dry spells, as fertilisers activate with moisture.
