#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Hydrangea shrubs in well-drained soil that is organically enriched in any full sun or partial shade location. Appreciating afternoon shade in hotter climates, Hydrangea also needs a good layer of arborist mulch over the root system to insulate them and keep moisture in the soil more consistently.
Considered an "everbloomer" you really need to see Tuff Stuff™ Hydrangeas to understand their sheer flower power. Since it blooms on old AND new wood, it is an almost non-stop bloomer from early summer and well into fall! Prune your shrub only to remove dead wood in spring, after the new growth begins to emerge. Because these bloom on old and new wood, pruning too much will remove the new flowers! Renewal pruning is best to keep them blooming by removing only one-third of the oldest, fattest stems every 3-5 years, leaving the youngest stems to bloom abundantly.
Mountain Hydrangeas are slightly dependent on soil pH and their pink blooms may take on more of a blue to purple hue. Play with this to your advantage and tweak these shrubs to match them to your garden's décor.
Tuff Stuff™ Hydrangea love moisture and sun but are wonderfully adaptable and mix and match beautifully with each other! Mix Top Fun™ with Ah-Ha® or Tuff Stuff™ Red for a range of flower colors!
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
