Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Provide 4 to 6 hours of morning sun with protection from the harsh afternoon heat. While it tolerates partial shade, you will see the most vibrant flower colors and strongest stems when it gets decent morning light.
  • Soil: Aim for rich, well drained soil that stays consistently moist. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in organic compost to improve drainage, as "wet feet" can lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first two years, water deeply and regularly to help the root system reach deep into the ground. Once established, this hydrangea is fairly resilient, but inconsistent moisture will cause the leaves to wilt and the flower clusters to shrink. Think of the soil like a wrung-out sponge; it should always feel damp but never muddy.

Pruning Tips

Since this variety blooms on both old and new wood, you do not have to worry about losing all your flowers to a late spring frost. Wait until the plant begins to leaf out in late spring to see which branches are truly dead before you trim them back. This approach ensures you do not accidentally cut off the "old wood" buds that provide your earliest summer color.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to give the plant the energy it needs for its big summer show. Avoid applying high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or fall. Doing so forces the plant to produce tender new growth that will likely be killed off by the first hard freeze of winter.

#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.
