Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 15–30 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 1–1.5 m in height and 1–1.5 m in width. Allow room for a rounded shrub of branching stems; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Plant in moisture-retentive but well-drained soil and mulch the root area. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. Apply compost or a slow-release hydrangea fertiliser once in spring; flower colour may change with soil pH. Remove faded flower heads in spring and avoid hard pruning, as next season’s buds develop on older stems.
