#ProPlantTips for Care:
Bigleaf Hydrangea loves the full sun for the strongest stems and biggest blooms. They also prefer partial shade, and afternoon shade in the hotter zones and the morning sun is their favorite! Plant in very well-drained moist soil and top off with a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch for insulation and moisture retention. Prune Bigleaf varieties in the very early spring and only if needed. Trim off the winter dieback and remove the oldest, fattest stems.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moderately Moist Enriched Soil
- Prune Bigleaf Hydrangea After Flowering - Blooms on New Wood
- Disease and Mildew Resistant & Salt Tolerant
- Highly Adaptable Hardy & Carefree Once Established
