Hydrangeas are one of those shrubs we all love to have in our gardens but also slightly fear. It's no secret they have particular care (especially around pruning) and making the slightest of errors can sabotage their display. March in particular brings a set of challenges with these showy shrubs, as there's much to get done for a productive season ahead.
If you've been growing hydrangeas for some time, you'll know that spring is when they start to tease with new growth. In March, you need to do some essential pruning (but only for some types), increase watering, look for pests, and check soil health. Failing to do any of the above could result in less-than-impressive blooms, weaker plants, and problems that escalate beyond repair.
