Planting and Care

Planting and caring for your Strawberry Sundae® Hydrangea is a straightforward process. Here's a comprehensive guide to ensure your hydrangea thrives:

Planting

Choose the Right Location: Select a location that receives partial to full sunlight. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent waterlogged roots.

Prepare the Soil: Dig a hole that's twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. This generous planting hole will give the roots ample room to establish themselves.

Plant the Hydrangea: Place the hydrangea in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Fill in the hole with soil, gently tamping it down as you go to eliminate air pockets.

Water Thoroughly: After planting, water the hydrangea thoroughly to help settle the soil and provide moisture to the newly planted shrub.

Care

Watering: Hydrangeas appreciate consistent moisture. Water deeply and regularly, especially during hot and dry spells, to maintain even soil moisture.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring, just before new growth begins. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of blooms.

Pruning: Prune your Strawberry Sundae® Hydrangea in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Trim back any dead or weak branches and shape the plant as desired. Be cautious not to cut into healthy buds, as this can reduce the number of blooms.

Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plant with a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or shredded bark. Mulching helps retain soil moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Incorporating the Strawberry Sundae® Hydrangea into your garden is a delightful choice that will reward you with beautiful, changing blooms throughout the seasons. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this hydrangea's easy care and captivating beauty make it a fantastic addition to any outdoor space.
