Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant Hydrangeas in a location with partial shade, especially in regions with hot summers like Rhode Island. Morning sun and afternoon shade are ideal.
- Planting:Dig a hole that’s as deep but twice as wide as the root ball. Place the Hydrangea in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
- Spacing:Space Hydrangea shrubs according to their mature size, typically about 3 to 6 feet apart.
- 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 as needed to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches.
