These plants are shrubs. The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub. This plant in the summer assumes a blue colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 2 m high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.

Light French hydrangeaPosizione ombreggiata
These plants are frightened by direct solar rays, which could ruin their leaves; we suggest to place them in a shady place. These plants aren't afraid of the cold weather and can be grwon in the garden throughout the whole year.When the minimum temperatures are very low we can protec the more sensible brushes by covering their roots with dry leaves or straw.

Water French hydrangeaTenere Umido
Water regularly, every 2-3 weeks , wetting the soil deeply with about 1-2 buckets of water ,but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between one watering and another; avoid leaving stagnant water. If we decide to grow a specimen of the French hydrangea in a container, we should remember that it will have slightly different needs compared to a specimen grown in the ground: we should pay more attention to its water and nutritional needs and check more often for possible development of parassites.

Pests French hydrangea
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold French hydrangea
The French hydrangea prefers quite drained soils, with a low PH.
