The flowers are notable for their coral-pink hue, which adds a splash of vibrant colour to the garden.

The foliage is also noteworthy, featuring dark green leaves with serrated edges that provide an attractive backdrop for the blossoms. In Autumn, the foliage may transition to shades of burgundy or bronze, further enhancing the shrub’s ornamental appeal.

Whether planted as a specimen shrub or incorporated into mixed plantings, this cultivar is sure to captivate with its vibrant coral-pink flowers and elegant form.

How to care for your Hydrangea Glabra Crug Coral

  • Planting Location: Choose a site with partial to full shade, as it prefers sheltered conditions away from direct sunlight. Ensure the soil is moist, well-draining, and rich in organic matter. Avoid planting in excessively dry or waterlogged soil.
  • Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and plant the shrub at the same depth as it was in its nursery container. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Space multiple plants at least 3 to 4 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the plant’s establishment period. Water deeply and regularly, particularly during dry spells or hot weather. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early Spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers, as they can encourage excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates.
  • Pruning: Generally does not require heavy pruning, but occasional deadheading of spent flowers can encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Any necessary pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
  • Support: Depending on the cultivar and growth habit, it may benefit from support to prevent sprawling or bending of branches. Use stakes or a trellis to provide support if necessary, especially in windy conditions.

By following these care guidelines, you can ensure Hydrangea Glabra Crug Coral thrives and continues to provide beautiful coral-pink blooms and elegant foliage in your garden or landscape. With proper care and attention, this charming shrub will reward you with its beauty and charm for years to come.
