It prefers well-drained, good garden soil, which helps prevent waterlogging and supports healthy root development.

How do I plant a Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora'?

Proper soil preparation is crucial before planting Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora'. 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 'Grandiflora', consider spacing to allow for its upright growth habit. For more detailed planting instructions, follow specific guidelines.

Pruning a Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora'

Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora' 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 plant can be pruned once a year. Removing dead, crossing, or protruding branches helps improve air circulation and light penetration. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can stimulate new blooms. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular pruning not only enhances the plant's appearance but also promotes vigorous flowering.

Watering a Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora'

Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora' requires careful watering to thrive. This plant prefers a generous amount of water rather than frequent small amounts. It's best to water deeply when the soil feels dry to the touch. Early morning or late afternoon is ideal for watering to minimise evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, more frequent watering may be necessary. Rainwater can be a great alternative to tap water. Ensure that excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. While not highly drought-resistant, once established, it can tolerate short dry spells. Drip irrigation systems are effective once the plant is well-rooted, but initial watering should be done manually.

Fertilising a Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora'

Fertilising Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora' is essential for its growth and vitality. Regular feeding supports the development of large, white flower clusters and ensures the plant remains healthy. Organic fertilisers are recommended as they prevent root and leaf burn, which can occur with synthetic options. Consider using Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer in spring and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer in summer. Apply fertiliser twice a year, adjusting the amount based on the plant's size. Ensure nutrients reach the roots by watering the garden during dry spells, as fertilisers activate with moisture. This practice promotes robust growth and prolonged blooming.
