Hydrangeas hang after rain

When is rain bad for hydrangeas?

Rain makes the water-loving hydrangea usually nothing, on the contrary: As long as the water can run off well and there is no waterlogging, the ornamental shrubs can hardly get enough water. However, there are exceptions that lead to the roots too wet become rotten and the plant is thereby weakened:

• In heavy rain, the flowers, leaves and stems can snap off
• Freshly planted hydrangeas are still sensitive
• Waterlogging damages the ornamental shrubs

How can I protect my hydrangeas from too much rain?

With hydrangeas planted in the bed, you should make sure that there are enough sand to incorporate into the ground. This allows water to drain better. Another possibility, which is particularly useful on slopes, is the excavation of

gullies, which direct the rain away from the hydrangeas and protect them from too much water. If these measures are not possible, you should put the hydrangea in one place transplant, which is better protected from rain. Don't transplant until spring, however, to give the plant ample time to root.

How to protect potted hydrangeas from rain?
