Choose a sunny, well-drained position. For best results prepare soil by applying Yates Hydrangea Pinking Liquid Lime & Dolomite. If low temperatures are experienced in early spring, some bud drop may occur. This is natural and new flowers will quickly follow. Plants may need some support as they can reach 1 metre in height. Protect from snails and slugs with Yates Blitzem.
