The Piamina Hydrangea grows best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic.

Hydrangea Piamina grows to about 70 cm tall with a similar spread. The ultimate size is determined by how much the plants are trimmed, how hard they are pruned in winter, how much care they receive, and how warm the climate is. In warmer climates such as Northland and Auckland the plants will tend to be larger than those grown in Southland.
Caring for the Hydrangea Piamina 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. Applying shrub fertiliser in spring will keep the Hydrangea Piamina plants well-fed for the year. Prune in late winter or early spring and continue to remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Monitor for pests like aphids and diseases like powdery mildew and treat as needed with appropriate measures.
