Directions for Planting and Care

Planting and caring for your Grin and Tonic™ Hydrangea is a straightforward process that guarantees its health and longevity. Here are some easy-to-follow guidelines to ensure your hydrangea thrives:

Location: Choose a well-drained location in your garden with morning sun and afternoon shade or dappled sunlight. Grin and Tonic™ Hydrangea prefers a soil pH between 6 and 7.

Planting: Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and place your hydrangea in it. Backfill with soil, tamp it down gently, and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. Leave enough space between multiple plants to accommodate their mature size.

Watering: Grin and Tonic™ Hydrangea appreciates consistent moisture. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, especially during hot and dry spells. Applying mulch around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Pruning: To maintain its compact shape and encourage new growth, prune your hydrangea in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or weak stems and shape the plant as desired. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Follow the package instructions for the appropriate dosage.

Grin and Tonic™ Hydrangea is a wonderful addition to any garden or outdoor space, offering year-round beauty with its captivating color transformation and low-maintenance care requirements.
