Hydrangea Brilliant plant care

Hydrangea Brilliant care is simply about getting a few easy things right so the plant thrives. they prefer a sheltered spot in either full sun or part shade.

They prefer a moist soil so consistent watering is essential, especially during dry periods but be careful to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.
