Care
requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot; regular watering and occasional feeding during the growing season ensures vitality, susceptible to overwatering stress which can lead to leaf drop and spots.
Maintenance
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Cleanup
remove spent blooms regularly to encourage rebloom in autumn; deadhead as needed
Notes
May be Aruncus dioicus 'Chantilly Lace' given the Proven Winners company, but following explicit botanical assignment to Hydrangea paniculata.
