How to care for Hydrangea paniculata Groundbreaker Blush ('Lc no21') (PBR):
Choose a spot with partial shade to full sun, though at hotter, sunnier times of the year, partial shade is preferable to protect the blooms and avoid the plant wilting after planting. The soil should be well-drained, rich, and consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just as deep, then mix in plenty of organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with the enriched soil, and water thoroughly. To help retain moisture and reguate soil temperatures, mulch around the base of the plant while making sure that it does not come into direct contact with the stems. Regular watering is important, especially during dry spells, to ensure the plant establishes well and produces abundant blooms - hydrangeas do not like to dry out. Once established, to enhance flowering prune hard in late winter/early spring cutting back the previous season's shoots to within a few buds of the permanent, woody framework of the plant.
Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
