Sold as a set of 3 plants, it creates a bright, structured shrub line for borders, courtyards, and larger containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a deciduous Hydrangea macrophylla, so bud protection and moisture are the two levers that decide performance. A cooler root zone and shelter from hard afternoon sun keep leaves glossy and the white display crisp. Heavy spring pruning is usually the reason macrophylla hydrangeas underperform, because it removes the stems carrying flower buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest placement for Hydrangea macrophylla 'Wudu White'\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e bright light with afternoon shelter; morning sun with shade later is a reliable match.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil.
