  • Rob repots two of the Hydrangeas in the Small Urban Garden.
    Hydrangeas are popular garden shrubs with delicate heads of flowers in shades of pink, white or blue and pretty autumn colour and leaf shape. The mophead and lace-cap hydrangeas are most well-known for their ability to change colour in different soils.
    Hydrangeas thrive in a moist, but well-drained soil, in a cool, semi-shady part of the garden. Try to avoid exposed east-facing sites, where cold winds may damage young spring growth, and also avoid dry, sunny spots.
    Work plenty of organic matter into the soil prior to planting, and after planting and in subsequent years apply organic matter as mulch. This could be well-rotted leafmould, garden compost, composted bark, or farmyard manure.
    Hydrangeas can be fed annually if necessary with fertiliser in late winter or spring. This should be enough for the season, but should not be necessary on richer soils. On lighter, sandier soils, feeding is more likely to be helpful. Too much feeding can encourage excessive soft, leafy growth, with plants less likely to develop flower buds and more at risk from frost damage in colder winters.
