Shade cloth is essential for hydrangeas to survive the summer.
Summer sun easily scorches hydrangea leaves. Use 50%-70% shade netting at least 50 cm above plants to prevent leaf burn and keep foliage green. Avoid excessive shade—ensure 3-4 hours of gentle daily light. Bigleaf hydrangeas need about 60% shade, while panicle hydrangeas need only 30%-40%. Proper use of shade netting is key to helping hydrangeas thrive through summer.
