How do I plant a Hydrangea paniculata 'Pinky Winky'?

Proper soil preparation is crucial before planting Hydrangea paniculata 'Pinky Winky'. This process ensures the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients, which is vital 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 paniculata 'Pinky Winky', follow specific planting instructions for optimal results.

Pruning a Hydrangea paniculata 'Pinky Winky'

Hydrangea paniculata 'Pinky Winky' 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. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and light penetration. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can also promote new blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular pruning not only enhances the plant's appearance but also supports its overall health and vitality.

Watering a Hydrangea paniculata 'Pinky Winky'

Hydrangea paniculata 'Pinky Winky' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers a generous amount of water rather than frequent small amounts.

Check the soil regularly to determine if watering is needed. Rainwater can be used as an alternative to tap water. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Once established, drip irrigation systems can be effective, but initial watering by hand is essential. This plant is not highly drought-resistant, so consistent moisture is key.

Organic fertilisers are recommended to avoid root and leaf burn, which can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are ideal choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to ensure optimal nutrient uptake. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size; follow package instructions for guidance. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so water the garden during dry spells to activate the fertiliser in the soil.
