Hydrangea Nightingale care

Caring for the Hydrangea Nightingale is simply about getting a few easy things right so the plant thrives. they prefer a sheltered spot in either full sun or part shade. Only in very hot climates should full sun positions be avoided. A well-drained, fertile soil is crucial. Adding organic matter like compost into the soil during planting will help with soil fertility. They prefer a moist soil so consistent watering is essential, especially during dry periods but be careful to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring and continue to remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming.
