watering

Panicle hydrangeas need to be watered deeply and regularly. It is recommended to water the plants deeply (until the soil is saturated) twice a week during the growing season and once a week during the winter. It is important to avoid overwatering the plant as this can cause root rot. When watering, always water at the base of the plant and avoid getting the foliage wet. Additionally, mulching around the base of the plant can help keep the soil moist, and help retain water.

sunlight

Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Ilvomindy' MEGA MINDY) prefers full sun, which is a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Morning sun is best as this helps to dry out the foliage and prevent fungal disease. If placed in a shady area, the plant may struggle to produce blooms as it needs adequate sunlight to flower. However, in areas with very hot summers, a bit of midday shade may be beneficial.

pruning

Panicle Hydrangeas should be pruned annually in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. Pruning should be done sparingly, removing only the dead or crossing stems and those smaller than 1/3 of an inch in diameter in order to maintain a desired size and shape. All flowers should be removed immediately after they have faded in mid-summer to encourage new and stronger growth in the following season.
