Hydrangea serrata 'Preziosa' care

Caring for Hydrangea serrata 'Preziosa' is about getting a few simple things right so the plant thrives. They prefer a sheltered spot in either full sun or part shade. Only in very hot climates should full sun positions be avoided. A well-drained, fertile soil is crucial. Adding organic matter, such as compost, to the soil during planting will help improve soil fertility. They prefer a moist soil, so consistent watering is essential, especially during dry periods. However, be careful to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Applying shrub fertiliser in spring will keep the Hydrangea serrata 'Preziosa' plants well-fed for the year. Prune in late winter or early spring and continue to remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Monitor for pests, such as aphids, and diseases, like powdery mildew, and treat as needed with appropriate measures.
