Proper Planting Instructions:
- Unpack and water immediately. Until ready to plant, keep plants in a bright indoor location & water frequently to prevent soil drying. Wait to plant until after the last frost.
- Choose a planting location based on your plants’ needs. This collection likes full sun to part shade. They will also need about 3 to 4 feet of space to grow.
- Prepare the ground. Remove nearby weeds and grass. Mix in compost or a slow-release fertilizer.
- Dig a hole twice as wide and twice as deep as the pot.
- Remove your pot by laying it sideways; gently massage the pot, then slowly slide it from the root ball.
- Hold the plant in the dug hole & match the plant’s soil level with the ground.
- Fill the hole with loose soil and press softly, but firmly to compact the plant base.
- Water thoroughly right away.
Continuing Care:
- Water frequently the first few weeks after planting and during dry spells.
- Apply slow-release fertilizer seasonally.
- The more acidic the soil, the bluer your hydrangeas will turn out – try out a soil acidifier to strengthen the bold blue!
- Plants will attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.
- Flowers can be freshly cut or dried.
