Our Tips & Recommendations

Watering

Hydrangeas are thirsty plants. Water deeply 2–3 times per week, especially in hot weather. Morning watering is best to prevent leaf scorch.

Soil & Watering

For blue flowers, add aluminum sulfate to acidify soil (pH 5.2–5.5). For pink flowers, add lime to raise pH (6.0–6.2). White varieties don’t change color.

Pruning

Most hydrangeas bloom on old wood — prune right after flowering in summer. Panicle and smooth hydrangeas bloom on new wood and can be pruned in late winter.
