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
Paniculata Hydrangeas require full to partial sunlight and well-drained soil with regular watering. Pruning is necessary for maintaining its shape and size, and it should be done in late winter or early spring. Fertilizers high in phosphorus are recommended for promoting blooming. Paniculatas can tolerate colder temperatures than other hydrangea varieties. Regular upkeep is necessary for a healthy and vibrant paniculata display.
