Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant Hydrangeas in a location with partial shade to full shade, especially in regions with hot summers like New York. Morning sun and afternoon shade are ideal.
- Planting:Dig a hole that’s twice as wide and deep as the root ball. Place the Hydrangea in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
- Spacing:Space Hydrangea shrubs about 3 to 6 feet apart, depending on the variety and desired size.
- Care:Water newly planted Hydrangeas regularly until established. Once established, they prefer consistent moisture but can tolerate short periods of drought. Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune after flowering to shape the shrub and remove dead or weak stems.
