One year after planting in the garden, this hydrangea has grown well and is giving me beautiful flowers this season. It's the first time I've grown a hydrangea, and when I saw the young plant arrive with a stem and two leaves (in winter dormancy), I didn't know what to expect. Well, it's all been good so far. I'm very pleased.

Description

Hydrangea paniculata Wim's Red is a brand new creation by Wim Rutten.

It is a very beautiful and drought-resistant shrubby hydrangea, which easily establishes itself even in non-acidic soil.

It flowers from June to the first frosts and its 25 cm (9.8 in) long flowers begin white and then become increasingly coloured until they take on red hues at the end of summer, provided it is planted in sunny exposure. Its panicles remain decorative even in winter.

Planting and care

This hydrangea requires a sunny exposure to achieve autumn colours, and a humus-bearing, neutral to acidic soil. When planting, install it in deeply worked soil. A good base fertiliser (horn or dried blood) will aid the recovery of your young plant and nourish it without risk of burning. If your soil tends to be dry, mix our STOCKOSORB® water retainer into the soil when filling in the planting hole and provide a surface watering basin. At the end of summer, we advise you not to cut the dry umbels which will protect the terminal shoots of the branches in winter; you should cut all the dry flowers at the end of February or on the first summer days. The plant's spring vegetation appears rather late.

Hydrangea Paniculata: these shrubby hydrangeas with elongated inflorescences are drought-resistant and easily establish themselves even in non-acidic soil. They bloom generously from June until the first frosts. When planted in the sun, their inflorescences take on colours in autumn.

Care

Pruning instructions Prune the faded inflorescences at the end of winter and, if necessary, cut back the branches to half their height in order to maintain a squat habit. Since the plant flowers on the year's wood, this procedure will not prevent flowering if carried out at the end of winter.
