Planting a Hydrangea paniculata

Hydrangea paniculata 'Quick Fire Fab®' should be pruned by cutting one-third of the main branches in either late winter or early spring. Alternatively, pruning can be done in late fall when the plant is completely dormant. It is important to note that panicle hydrangeas thrive best in well-drained soil and do not require soil amendments when planting. For optimal growth, fertilization can be done in early spring with a granular rose fertilizer, and monthly thereafter until late July. However, this is not necessary for a plant that is healthy and blooming abundantly.
