Product description
Hydrangea Preziosa is a deciduous shrub with a tendancy to bear bronze coloured leaves in its younger age, before the regular colour of green forms as it grows older. The foliage will also gain a deep red tint in Autumn, therefore adding plenty of colour to proceedings. Forming in a clustered manner, the flowers are made up of a gorgeous pink colour which, when fully developed, is a very pleasing sight to look at. Hydrangea should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. If kept in full sunlight, watering should be done so that the soil is never dry to touch. However, if placed in dappled shade, regular watering should only take place in the first few weeks as it establishes itself.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

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.
