Being a hydrangea, it's simple to grow, needing no complicated maintenance. Reaching 2.5m (8ft) in height and spread, 'Gold Rush' responds to a hard spring pruning and grows well in sun or partial shade, although it does appreciate some shelter to protect the emerging spring leaves from drying winds.
