Trimming: Prune Hydrangea You Me Together in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove any dead, damaged, or weak stems. Lightly shape the plant to maintain its form, avoiding heavy pruning to ensure future flowering.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut the flower stems just above the first set of healthy leaves.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth and abundant flowering. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct dosage. A second light feeding in mid-summer can help prolong the flowering period.
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Hydrangea You Me Together prefers well-drained soil. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
