Temperatures French hydrangeaPosizione ombreggiata
To prevent damage caused by the cold temperatures, during the months with definately harsh minimum temperatures, we can protect the shrubs by covering the soil around the stem with straw or dry leaves. Plant which prefers shady spots, avoid exposing it to direct solar rays, especially during the hottest hours of the day.We suggest growing the The French hydrangea outdoors year round, as they don't fear cold weather.

Feed French hydrangea
Shrubs develop new shoots and prepare their flowers during the spring period, therefore we must remember, by the end of the winter, to give it a good dose of humus or mature manure, or granular slow release fertilizer, to be added to the soil at the foot of the plant. During the spring we can choose a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to mix with the irrigating water, every 20-25 days.

Care French hydrangea
These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form. The French hydrangea has a shrub- like development. The French hydrangea is medium in size and 1 m in height; in the summer it assumes a yellowred colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Irrigation French hydrangeaTenere Umido
The French hydrangea needs to be watered quite frequently, every 2-3 weeks ; if there are abundant rains we can diminish watering, which should be done only when the soil is dry. The suggested quantity is 1-2 buckets of water . If we want to grow these plants in a vase, we should water them a bit more often, compared to plants cultivated in the ground; Every 2-3 years we should renew the substratum in the vase, or enrich with organic amender.

Adversity French hydrangea
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.
