Hydrangea
When does the hydrangea flower?
Hortensias generally flower in summer, between June and September to be precise. Hydrangea flowers can last for several weeks, providing beautiful colouring for the garden. These flowers come in a wide variety of colours, from white and pink to blue and purple.
.To encourage hydrangeas to flower beautifully, it's important to plant them in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water hydrangeas regularly during dry periods, taking care to avoid excess standing water. Hydrangeas prefer semi-shaded locations, with exposure to morning or evening light.
At the end of winter, it is advisable to prune hydrangeas by removing dead branches and shortening stems to encourage new flowers to form. By following these simple tips, you can make the most of the splendid hydrangea blooms in your garden, without having to resort to chemical fertilisers.
