Hydrangea: How to Grow It, Care for It & Where to Keep It

ADVERTISEMENT

The best time to plant hydrangeas is in spring or autumn.

🌱 Care Tips:
Watering:
Hydrangeas need regular watering, especially in the first year. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.

Fertilizing:
Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring. Avoid overfeeding, as it can lead to lush leaves but fewer flowers.

Pruning:
Pruning depends on the type:

Bigleaf (macrophylla): Prune lightly after flowering; they bloom on old wood.

Panicle & Smooth types: Can be pruned in early spring, as they bloom on new wood.

Winter Protection:
In colder areas, mulch around the base in late fall to protect the roots.
