Planting a Hydrangea
Ensure optimal growth by using organically rich and well-drained soil. Protect your plant during harsh winters by applying mulch to conserve moisture. Establish a strong and healthy root system by regularly watering deeply during the first growing season. Keep in mind that the pH of the soil and water can affect the bloom color, with the ideal range being 5.2 to 5.5 for a deep blue appearance. Give your plant a boost in early spring with fertilizer. Remember to prune after flowering, as this plant blooms on old wood.
