Hydrangea Pee Wee

Hydrangea Pee Wee, commonly known as Oakleaf Hydrangea, features large, white flower heads. These are borne through summer and autumn and contrast nicely with the lush, dark green foliage as it grows to 80 cm tall and the same wide. Hydrangea Pee Wee is a great variety for adding to a mixed planting, maintaining in a container, including in a cottage or “white” garden, or for planting around an outdoor living area.

What are the garden uses for Hydrangea Pee Wee in NZ?

Hydrangea Pee Wee is a much-loved shrub in NZ gardens. It is most commonly grown as specimen, used as an informal hedge, added to a mixed planting, or planted as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is a great complement to a modern or cottage garden, bringing both colour and elegance to a space. It is the gorgeous foliage and beautiful flowers of this plant that makes Hydrangea Pee Wee an excellent choice for a NZ garden.

What does the Pee Wee Hydrangea need to grow well?

The Pee Wee Hydrangea grows best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, coastal environments, and humid climates. Wind protection is important to ensure branches are not snapped and this will also result in a better formed plant that will flower more prolifically.

How to the prune Hydrangea Pee Wee

Hydrangea Pee Wee is pruned each winter to contain growth and encourage fresh, new growth that will bear flowers. The Plant Company recommends they are pruned back to a low crown which has short stems (about 10 cm long) with at least two buds on each stem remaining. Any dead stems should also be removed at this time, along with stems that are criss-crossing or show disease. Young plants will generally be left with five stems whereas older plants can have 10-20 stems remaining. These can be thinned back to 15 if desired which will help produce bigger flower heads. Longer stems can be left on younger plants while they are establishing. In general, the harder the plant is pruned back, the more contained it will grow the next season. Flowering can be affected with hard pruning but that is more likely to cause delayed flowering only. A mistake often made with pruning the Hydrangea Pee Wee variety is to not prune the plants hard enough. This error results in a woodier plant and a much larger plant that can be difficult to contain.
