Very small plant and some leaves are scorched at the tip: frost? Drought? Disappointing.

Description
Hydrangea macrophylla Dolce Gipsy® 'Dolgip' is a fairly recent French creation of rare elegance. It blooms abundantly in June-July, and has the potential to bloom again in September. The delicate colour of its flowers illuminates the garden.
Hydrangea macrophylla Dolce Gipsy® 'Dolgip' is an adorable bush with a well-branched rounded habit. The flowers are grouped in inflorescences called "lace-cap", which means a crown of large sterile flowers surrounds smaller fertile flowers. Here, the sterile flowers in pastel pink offer a soft contrast with the more intense pink of the cluster of fertile flowers.
Macrophylla hydrangeas remain essential bushes for flowering a shady area. Grow them in pots or in flower beds, and enjoy their fresh and dried bouquet-like flowering.

Planting and care
Plant in a shady or semi-shady location. This type of bush does not tolerate chalky soils, so enrich the planting hole with ericaceous soil. Also add some draining material and sand to the planting hole to lighten the soil. It will appreciate a 5cm (2in) layer of mulch on the soil to keep it cool at its base during summer. Prune in late winter by removing dead wood. Remove old stems that have turned slightly grey, which will rejuvenate the plant. Cut these branches above a large bud. Cut the first flowers to encourage a later bloom.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
