All panicle hydrangeas prefer a sunny to a half shady location, with most specimens in a light shade, d. H. a bright place without direct sunlight, and sheltered place most blooming. Panicle hydrangeas in sunny or even full-sun locations also bloom very luxuriantly, provided they are sufficiently watered, however, they also fade very quickly. However, panicle hydrangeas do not belong to a shady spot, because they grow there only puny and hardly bloom. In this respect, they are very different from the "normal" farm hydrangeas.
The right soil for panicle hydrangeas
The good and healthy growth and a lush flowering depend not only on the right lighting conditions, but also on the soil quality. Panicle hydrangeas prefer a nutrient-rich, humus-rich and loose soil, which should also be slightly acidic to neutral. In particular calcareous soil is poorly tolerated by panicle hydrangeas, which is why these plants should also be watered with soft rainwater if possible. Ideal is a pH of 5.5.
