Hydrangea Villosa, also known as ‘Rough-Leaved Hydrangea’ is a large, bushy, deciduous shrub. It is known for its large, velvety leaves and large clusters of white flowers that bloom in late Summer and early Autumn. This shrub is native to the United States and is widely cultivated for its attractive appearance and ease of care. Hydrangea Villosa is a hardy plant that can thrive in a variety of soils and climates, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all levels of experience. With proper care it can reach heights and widths of 4 metres, making it a great option for filling in large garden beds or creating a stunning focal point in any landscape. To keep your Hydrangea looking its best, be sure to plant it in a location with plenty of sunlight, water regularly, and prune in the late Winter or early Spring.

How to care for your Hydrangea Villosa

• Light: This plant prefers partial to full shade, and should be protected from intense midday sun.
• Water: Prefers well-drained, consistently moist soil. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Soil: This plant prefers acidic, organic-rich soil. If your soil is alkaline, you can add sulphur to lower the pH.
• Fertiliser: Fertilise in the Spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser. You can also amend the soil with compost or other organic matter.
• Pruning: Prune in late Winter or early Spring before new growth begins. Cut back last year’s growth to shape the plant and encourage new growth.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Hydrangea Villosa stays healthy and grows well.
