Hydrangea macrophylla 'Charm' is a showy mophead hydrangea with medium-sized, rounded flower heads, up to 6 in. across (15 cm), densely packed with deep rosy-pink florets from early to late summer. The flower color varies depending on soil pH. Rosy-pink in alkaline soils, the flowers turn rich blue in acidic soils. Equally handsome, the foliage of dark green, large, glossy, serrated leaves turns orange and red shades in the fall, extending the season of interest of this hydrangea. 'Charm' is perfect as a specimen or in small groupings, anywhere in the landscape that gets morning or filtered sun. Though the mature Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea Tree will grow as high as 8 to 10 feet, for best blooms prune the plant back to 6 to 8 feet every fall. The perfect location for bigleaf hydrangeas is a semi-shaded, wind-protected place in the garden or on the balcony. Hydrangea macrophylla are not particularly comfortable in a full-sun location, primarily because of their high water requirements. The watering water evaporates too quickly there, so the plants let their leaves and flowers droop. In addition, they can easily get sunburned when exposed to strong sunlight. Hydrangea macrophylla require a fresh, well-drained and slightly acidic soil with a high humus and nutrient content. Special hydrangea soil with a low pH value is offered in garden specialty stores. These are very suitable for planting in pots. After planting, the soil around the hydrangea should be mulched with bark mulch. This keeps the moisture in the soil and ensures that the pH value remains rather low. Hydrangea macrophylla have an enormously high water requirement and react quickly to a water deficit by letting their shoots and flowers hang limp. Therefore, water the bigleaf hydrangeas in your garden or on the balcony in the summer months daily and generously. On hot summer days, potted hydrangeas should be watered even twice a day, because the water evaporates more quickly with the smaller volume of soil.
