For good growth and magnificent flowers: care for panicle hydrangea
Panicle hydrangeas not only enchant the viewer with their mostly white, large flowers, but also with their lush growth. The up to three meter high flowering shrubs can also be raised as a tree or Hochstämmchen.

Panicle hydrangeas, like all hydrangea species, need a lot of water. Especially on hot summer days or when the plant is in a sunny spot, you can often water every day. However, waterlogging should be avoided, which is why hydrangeas should not be planted at the foot of a hill or downhill.
Should I prefer to use tap or rain water for pouring?
Optimal for casting is of course the soft rainwater. However, if you use tap water for pouring, it is best to fill it in watering cans and leave it for a few hours. So it can heat up and the plant gets no cold shock when pouring.
How are panicle hydrangeas properly fertilized?
Panicle hydrangeas are vigorously mulched in spring with a layer of mature mixed compost and bark mulch. During the growing season, fertilize with a hydrangea or rhododendron fertilizer approximately every 14 days.
When should panicle hydrangeas be cut?
Cut down your panicle hydrangea in spring quietly. As the plant blooms on the young shoots, in this way you stimulate the flowering joy of your specimen.
How are panicle hydrangeas properly cut?
How strongly you want to cut back your panicle hydrangea depends above all on how big the bush should be. The plant can be easily cut by a third or even half, with a rather moderate cut cut only all side shoots to about 10 centimeters.
My panicle hydrangea does not bloom, why is that?
If the panicle hydrangea does not want to bloom, it is usually due to a location that is too low in light. In contrast to other species of hydrangea, panicle hydrangea flower sparingly or even not at shady locations.
Are panicle hydrangeas hardy?
Panicle hydrangeas are the hardiest representatives of all hydrangea species. Only young specimens need protection in the winter (eg by mulching), because the frost hardiness develops only with age. Panicle hydrangeas in the bucket, however, should be winterized better frost-free.
Tips & Tricks
Panicle hydrangeas often bloom white and turn pink in bloom, keeping this color very long. This is why panicle hydrangeas are wonderful for drying.
