A Spectacular Display of Summer Blues! 

Bring timeless beauty and vibrant colour into your garden with the magnificent Hydrangea ‘ Renate Steiniger’, a stunning mophead hydrangea celebrated for its impressive rounded flower heads.

Throughout summer, this beautiful deciduous shrub produces generous clusters of richly coloured blue to violet-blue blooms, creating a striking contrast against its lush, deep green foliage.

As the seasons change, this deciduous shrub will lose its leaves during winter, which give you the opportunity to prune them back, ready for the new spring growth.

Supplied in a 4.5L nursery pot,  Hydrangea ‘ Renate Steiniger’ is a wonderful choice for creating a punch of colour in filtered light positions.

Plant Care 

• Light

Prefers morning sunshine with afternoon shade or a position in bright, filtered light. Protect from harsh afternoon sun, particularly during hot Auckland summers, as strong sunlight can cause the flowers to fade.

• Watering 

Keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during spring and summer when the plant is actively growing and flowering. Water deeply during dry weather and avoid allowing the roots to dry out completely. Container -grown plants will require more frequent watering.

• Feeding

Apply a fertiliser suitable for hydrangeas in spring, Avoid excessive nitrogen, which cand encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers. A hydrangea blueing product may help maintain blue flowers where soil conditions are suitable.

• Pruning and Maintenance

Hydrangeas generally flower on growth produced in the previous season. Remove spent flower heads just above a healthy pair of plump buds after flowering or in later June – July .
