Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location: Partial shade to full sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal in hot climates.
- Soil: Moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Hydrangeas prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH.
- Planting: Plant container-grown shrubs in spring or fall. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the shrub, backfill with soil, and water well.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season. Once established, water deeply but infrequently.
- Maintenance:Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to shape and remove dead or weak branches. Some varieties bloom on old wood, so avoid heavy pruning in spring.
