Care

To ensure your hydrangea stays happy and healthy, follow these care tips:

1. Soil: Plant your Panicle Hydrangea in moist, well-draining, and fertile soil. The plant adapts well to various soil types but prefers a slightly acidic pH range of 5.5 to 6.5.
2. Light: Ensure your hydrangea receives at least 4 to 6 hours of full sun each day, although providing some afternoon shade in hotter climates is recommended.
3. Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not drenched. Water deeply and less frequently to encourage stronger root development.
4. Pruning: Prune your Panicle Hydrangea in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged wood.
5. Fertilizer: Apply our SR-18-5-10 slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote vigorous growth and vibrant blooms.
