#ProPlantTips For Care
Elizabeth Ashley™ grows best in full sun for the strongest growth and best color, though appreciates some afternoon shade during the worst of the summer's heat or when planted in the warmer of its preferred growing zones. Grow them in rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter and supply a moderate amount of water on a regular schedule.
This Bigleaf Hydrangea can tolerate very cold winter conditions in USDA zones 5 through 9. Hydrangea are not particular about soil type however, Hydrangea does like evenly moist soils for best performance. Add a 3-4 inch layer of mulch to help maintain the soil moisture.
Hydrangeas bloom earlier on last year's wood so don't cut them back in fall or spring - but wait to see if any pruning needs to be done to remove any dead branch tips as they begin to grow in spring. As the plants age, it is best to remove a few of the oldest fattest canes out to the ground leaving in some younger stems for best bloom. Old blooms can be removed in fall or spring.
It is difficult to lose someone special in your life, but their memories will never fade. Let the Elizabeth Ashley™ Hydrangea bring cheer and joy to your garden just as her namesake did to her family and friends. Nature Hills is honored to offer this touching tribute, so call to order yours for someone special today!
