Do not remove faded flowers from the shrub
Should faded hydrangea flowers be cut in summer? This is a controversial issue that divides professional gardeners. While some consider faded flowers decorative and therefore decide to leave them, others prefer to cut them. In fact, it is advisable to eliminate them to avoid tiring the plant and ensure better robustness. Take a pruner and cut off the dead flowers as they wither.
Don’t Mulch the Base of the Plant
Forgetting to mulch the shrub is another very common hydrangea maintenance mistake that you should avoid. Before summer arrives, spread mulch around the base of the plant. The best hydrangea mulch includes pine straw, pine bark, and compost.
