#ProPlantTips For Care
Growing the best in full sun for strongest growth and best color, in cooler growing zones. Golden Penny prefers full shade or afternoon shade in the hottest growing zones, especially in dryer climates, but you will not see any blooms. Alternately, Hydrangea can tolerate full sun in cooler zones. With the color improving in part shade, Hydrangea prefers at least 6 hours of sun for the strongest stems.
Performing best in consistently moist well-drained soils that do not dry out for long between waterings. Not particular on the soil type, Hydrangea can thrive in sandy, loam, clay, and humus soils as long as they drain well and won't have the roots sit in water.
Your Golden Penny flower buds are colored depending on your soil pH. Higher acidic soils, or adding aluminum sulfate to your planting site will result in blue blooms. Alkaline soils, or when you add garden lime, will result in pink flowers, and neutral soil pH leads to a purple hue. Note that when changing the color of your Hydrangea by altering soil pH, it can take a few years to achieve the full effect.
Pruning these mid-sized shrubs should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. This is essential to prevent removing that year's blooms.
For bright and shiny foliage, melded with subdued pastel blooms, Golden Penny Hydrangea will become the amazing accent your landscape has been craving! Order yours from the Hydrangea experts at Nature Hills Nursery today!
