Landing
Hydrangea is propagated by seeds, cuttings, layering. When sowing seeds, you must follow the recommendations in the instructions.
When choosing a site for planting, it is necessary to take into account that the Early Sensation hydrangea is a very light-loving culture. Abundant lighting of the shrub contributes to its lush flowering. He dislikes drafts, so he will feel good against the wall of the house or near the fence. This arrangement will help protect the hydrangea from strong winds.
The root system is superficial, but branched. When planting, the root collar must not be buried. Panicle hydrangea grows well on soils with neutral or weak acidity. 1/3 of peat is added to the planting hole. To maintain the required moisture, you can add the soaked hydrogel. This is especially true in the absence of the ability to conduct timely watering. Mulching the trunk circle will allow you to maintain the necessary soil moisture. For hydrangeas, mulching is done with humus, peat or coniferous litter.

Care
Care for hydrangea paniculata consists in weeding, watering, feeding, pruning
Watering is carried out throughout the season at intervals of 1-2 times a week. It is especially necessary to monitor soil moisture when establishing dry weather.
Top dressing is carried out with full complex fertilization in the spring, as well as during the period of bud formation. To prepare for the cold weather, hydrangeas are fed with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. They help to strengthen the root system of the plant. Loosening is carried out simultaneously with weeding to a depth of 5-6 cm and watering 2-3 times per season.
To preserve decorativeness and abundant flowering, it is recommended to carry out sanitary and rejuvenating pruning of the shrub. In the spring, even before the leaves appear, weak branches are removed, and the developed ones are cut off, leaving 2-3 pairs of buds. Young plants are not pruned, because crown formation occurs up to 4 years.

Pruning is also done in autumn. In this case, the shoots are shortened by 2/3. Pruning allows you to get strong shoots and more lush flowering, and also helps to preserve the plant during frost (short stems are less damaged by frost). Cut shoots root well and can be used as cuttings.
The effort put into growing and nursing is well worth the lush flowering of hydrangeas over the years.
