#ProPlantTips for Care:
Pop Star® does need partial shade to do best, so provide afternoon shade and morning sun, or all-day dappled shade. Heat and cold-hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 through 9, Bigleaf Hydrangea bushes are easy-to-grow, colorful shrubs! Plant these bushes in a well-drained enriched site. Bigleaf Hydrangea flowers are sensitive to pH in the soil and you'll get blue to purple blooms in acidic conditions, and turn pink in alkaline soils. Include a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch over the surface for best results and fertilize regularly. Prune in very early spring as soon as you can see new buds forming, but only if needed, and only to remove any branch tips that died back over the winter.
- Partial Shade/Part Sun
- Enriched Well-Drained Soils
- Bloom Color is pH-Dependent
- Moderate Moisture & Fertility Needs
- Prune Bigleaf Hydrangeas In Early Spring
