Planting & Care

1. Planting: Choose a location with morning sun and afternoon shade. Avoid planting your hydrangeas in a heavily shaded spot. Soil content is also important for hydrangeas because it should drain well yet also maintain sufficient moisture. 

When you’re ready to plant, dig the planting hole 2 feet wider than the root ball and to a depth of the tip of the root ball. Set the hydrangea in the hole, making sure it’s not planted too deeply. Finally, water to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Give your hydrangea an inch of water each week. This includes any rainfall. If you’re not sure when and how much to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 2 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water until it’s moist.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your hydrangeas once in the summer prior to August. Apply a good time-release fertilizer at this time, only one time during the year. Discontinue fertilizing if the plant appears wilted or unhealthy.

4. Pruning: Prune in the spring to remove dead tips from winter. You can also prune back in the fall or early spring for shaping without worry – it’ll grow and bloom again!
