Hydrangea Candybelle Marshmallow is easy to grow in full sun or partial shade and prefers a rich, moisture-retentive soil that does not dry out too much during Summer. Lighter or sandy soils will benefit from the addition of organic matter at planting time to help improve moisture retention, while a generous mulch in Spring will help keep the roots cool and moist, particularly for younger plants. Water regularly during dry spells, especially when growing in pots. As this Hydrangea flowers on new growth, prune the stems back hard in Early Spring to encourage strong new shoots and a plentiful display of flowers in Summer. Remove any weak, damaged or crossing stems at the same time. We recommend adding Rootgrow when planting all Hydrangeas to give them the best start.
