The brightness that the foliage brings ensures that the white base colour in the flower can be elegantly joined by a faded pink margin throughout each leaf. In terms of plant care, Hydrangea should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. Full sunlight should see the watering process be carried out when the soil is dry to touch. If you choose to place the plant in dappled shade, however, you should only regularly water it in the first few weeks as it establishes itself.
