For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container
2. Place plant in hole, keeping the top of the root ball ground level
3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions.
Care Instructions
Oakleaf hydrangeas require partial to full sun exposure, well-draining soil, and consistent moisture. Regular watering during the growing season is essential. Pruning should be minimal and done after blooming, as new growth will produce next year's flowers. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer. Pests and diseases aren't usually a problem, but keeping the foliage dry can prevent powdery mildew. Pruning for size control is recommended.
