Best with rich, loamy, slightly acidic soil, but highly adaptable to most well-drained soils. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to develop a deep, extensive root system. Panicle hydrangeas are best pruned in early spring. Cut the branches back by about one-third their total length. This plant tolerates a wide range of conditions, but does not grow well in soggy soil. Plant in full sun in zones 3-7; afternoon shade is preferable in warmer areas. A good 2-3" layer of shredded bark mulch over the roots is very beneficial. If desired, fertilize in early spring with a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants, like a rose fertilizer. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
