How To Use Hydrangeas In The Garden
Hydrangeas are a versatile and beautiful addition to any garden. Plant them in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and ensure they get partial shade, though they can tolerate full sun in cooler areas. These shrubs thrive with consistent watering and can be used to create striking borders, focal points, or hedges. Their blooms can even change color based on soil pH, offering endless design possibilities. With the right care, hydrangeas provide stunning seasonal beauty for years to come.
Hydrangeas Care
Caring for hydrangeas is simple with the right approach. These stunning plants thrive in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and benefit from consistent moisture without becoming waterlogged. Place them in partial shade for best results, though some varieties tolerate more sun in cooler climates. Fertilize in spring and summer for optimal blooms, and prune as needed based on the type—old wood or new wood bloomers. Proper care ensures lush, vibrant flowers that enhance your garden year after year.
