Hydrangea 'Little Hottie' ® Care Tips:
-
Watering: Hydrangeas prefer moist, well-drained soil. Water your 'Little Hottie' ® regularly, especially during hot and dry periods. Ensure the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
-
Fertilizer Needs: Feed your 'Little Hottie' ® hydrangea in early spring with a slow-release balanced fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of flower production.
-
Pruning Tips: Pruning hydrangeas is generally done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. For 'Little Hottie' ®, prune back the previous year's growth to encourage strong branching and abundant blooms. Remove any dead or damaged branches as well. Remember that this cultivar blooms on new wood, so you won't be sacrificing next year's flowers.
