Planting
Lace cap hydrangeas are compact deciduous shrubs with broadly ovate leaves and flat or gently domed clusters of small fertile flowers, with showy sterile flowers around the margin. Cultivation is best grown in moist but well-drained soil in part shade although tolerant of sun if soil remains moist. Suggested planting locations are in gardens and flower borders and beds. Should be exposed or sheltered to sun dependent on soil moistness. Compact, perfect for pots and even baskets.
Aftercare
Cuttings should take place in early summer or hardwood cuttings in winter. Pests such as capsid bugs, hydrangea scale and vine weevil may be a problem and should be treated accordingly. May be subject to leaf spotting, grey moulds, powdery mildews and honey fungus. May cause mild stomach upset if ingested, contact with foliage may aggravate skin allergies.
Pruning
Hydrangeas can be pruned back hard in the summer to remove dead material and to stimulate fresh strong new growth from the base which will produce the best flowers. Wear gloves and other protective equipment when handling.
