#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Hydrangea in fertile, deep, organic soil that is well-drained. Use aluminum sulfate or acidic soil to turn blue, or garden lime for pink. These moisture-loving shrubs appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch to hold moisture in consistently and keep their roots nice and cool. Hybrid Hydrangea may be trimmed after they're done with the early summer flowering. In colder zones, you may need to prune off any damaged branch tips as the plant comes out of dormancy, that way you can see which part of each stem may need to be cut back. that blooms on last year's wood, and produces new flowers from new growth from the base as well.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Rich, Well-Drained Soil
- Adjust pH to Change Flower Color
- Blooms on Old Wood - Prune After Flowering
- Moderate Moisture Needs & Appreciates Mulched Beds
