Hydrangea Vilosa plant care

Hydrangea Vilosa care 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.

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.
