1. Planting: Hydrangeas grow best when planted somewhere that receives afternoon shade or the sunlight filtered beneath trees. Plant a hole twice as large as the pot your hydrangea arrives in. Place in the hole then backfill the soil and water to establish.
Note: Your Hydrangea will bloom blue in acidic soil and pink in alkaline soil.
2. Watering: When it comes to hydrangeas, the right amount of watering is crucial. You shouldn't ever let them dry out. They prefer to be planted in moist, well-drained soil. Add a layer of mulch over the soil's surface for further insulation and moisture retention.
If you're unsure when to water, stick a finger 2" down into the soil. If it's dry, it's time to water.
3. Pruning: No pruning is needed for this plant.
4. Fertilizing: Choose a slow-release fertilize and fertilize once in spring after the last chance of frost and again in early summer for best results.
