Product description
Hydrangea Zorro is a deciduous shrub with a neat collection of dark green foliage that surrounds the base of the shrub to ensure the colourful flowering can flourish with ease. The strong violet colour shown in the Summer blooms of this plant are very eye-catching and are pleasing to look at when fully grown and established in the garden. Hydrangeas are best planted in moist, well-drained soil, as well as being exposed to full sunlight for the most-part. Conditions of full sun should see these watered when the soil is dry to touch. Dappled shade, however, will require regular watering in the first few weeks as it establishes itself.

Instructions
Top Tip
Protect hydrangeas in winter by adding a thick layer of mulch around the base to insulate the roots. In colder climates, cover the plant with burlap or a frost blanket to shield it from freezing temperatures and harsh winds.
How to Water
Water hydrangeas deeply, keeping the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues. Water at the base early in the morning or late in the evening, and mulch to help retain moisture.
How to Plant
Choose a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, and well-draining, moist soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the plant, backfill with soil, firm gently, and water well. Mulch around the base to retain moisture.
