Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Protect from strong winds that may damage blooms and stems.

Hydrangea 'Snow White' benefits from regular watering during dry periods to maintain lush foliage and clean bright blooms. Feed in early spring with a quality fertiliser for flowering shrubs to promote strong bud formation. Remove spent flower heads after blooming to keep the plant tidy. In late winter lightly prune by removing dead or weak stems while retaining healthy shoots that will produce the next season flowers.
