How to plant & care for Hydrangea

WATER:

Hydrangeas need a good amount of water especially in the hotter months. They tend to wilt fast if not watered deeply at least 3 times per week.

EXPOSURE:

Hydrangeas thrive in a location that gets a lot of sunshine and a little bit of shade each day.

PRUNING:

In Fall, late Winter, or early Spring but your Hydrangeas back to about 1-2 feet above the ground.

PROPAGATION:

Take a stem of your existing Hydrangea and remove all but the top few leaves. Place into starter potting mix and wait for roots to establish.

FERTILIZER:

Fertilize with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer in the Spring and Summer.
