Hydrangea 'LA Dreamin'

Planting Advice for Hydrangea 'LA Dreamin':

• March, October and November are the best months for planting hydrangeas.
• Hydrangeas do best in a clay-like, fertile soil, although they'll do well in most soils as long as it is well drained, in sun or part shade. The more sun the plant gets, the better the flower colour.
• Just plant in position, water well, and add a general-purpose fertiliser or our own specialist hydrangea feed - they’ll burst into growth and flower profusely all summer!

Aftercare Advice for your 'LA Dreamin' Hydrangea:

• Hardy in the UK, frost can cause a lot of damage to young buds, reducing the number of flowers, so protect your plant with fleece if freezing weather is likely.
• Another way to prevent damage is to leave flowering stems in place until spring.
• Hydrangeas are moisture-loving plants, so remember to water regularly and deeply especially for container plants.

Pruning Advice for Hydrangeas:

• Pruning is generally best carried out early spring. A general tidy up is usually all that is needed and consists of removing the dead bloom from each stem, cutting back to the first strong, healthy pair of buds down from the faded flower.
• As Hydrangeas flower on the previous year's growth, cut out 1 or 2 of the oldest stems, in spring, at the base to encourage the production of new, replacement growth that will carry more flowers.
