How To Plant Azure Skies™ Bigleaf Hydrangea
Big Leaf Hydrangea grow best when they get full sun for part of the day and shade the balance of the day. Up north, where the summers are cooler, they like full sun for up to six hours each day. As you move south, the summer sun is more intense, so less full sun is desired. In Zone 8, consider two hours of full direct sun as ideal. Your Big Leaf Hydrangea will have pink flowers in an alkaline soil and blue flowers in acidic soil.
How To Water
Your Bigleaf Hydrangea should be watered regularly and deeply until plant has reaches establishment. Once the plant has matured, it will need average water.
How To Fertilize
Feed your Bigleaf Hydrangeas yearly with an organic fertilizer, our Elements Starter Plant Food will work best!
How To Prune
Prune your hydrangea right after it flowers to control its size or to tidy things up. Don't prune it hard - those stems will have flower buds for next year! Your Azure Skies™ Hydrangea is a reblooming variety and will follow its initial huge flowering period with more flowers through the rest of the summer and into early Fall.
