How to make the most of hydrangeas to guarantee a display of colour

Peter Dowdall has advice on making the most of a bloom that guarantees a display of colour.

IT WOULDN’T be August without hydrangeas and what a display they are giving this year. I think they must be grateful for the damp spring and summer we experienced so far this year or perhaps they are thanking the climate for the prolonged spell of high temperatures and sunshine we experienced during 2018. Whatever the reason, hydrangeas this year are looking better than ever.
