Alan Titchmarsh shows off his hydrangeas<\/h3>\n

Hydrangeas have developed a reputation as popular plants, with their exotic blooms bursting into life from late November through to early February.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This hardy plant will continue to grow and blossom for many years when kept in the right conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In order to give hydrangeas the best possible start it is recommended that gardeners plant them at the \u201cbest time\u201d, claimed Craig Wilson, horticultural specialist at\u00a0Gardener’s Dream.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn the UK, the optimal times for planting\u00a0hydrangeas\u00a0are February to April and August to October.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese periods offer milder temperatures, which are ideal for helping the plants establish their root systems.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

While he argued that summer planting can be \u201csuccessful\u201d, especially during milder spells, it’s important to ensure the plants are well-watered and not exposed to prolonged periods of intense sun.<\/p>\n

Once gardeners know when to plant their hydrangeas, they then need to know how to plant them. Luckily, Craig has shared how to do this.<\/p>\n

First gardeners need to close the \u201cideal location\u201d. Hydrangeas\u00a0need a balance of sun and shade to \u201cthrive\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Select a location that receives morning sunlight but is shaded in the afternoon. This ensures the plant isn’t exposed to the harshest midday sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The area should be sheltered from strong winds, as\u00a0hydrangeas\u00a0can be sensitive to harsh weather conditions.<\/p>\n
