How To Use Hydrangeas In The Garden

Hydrangeas are admired for their big, colorful flower clusters in shades of blue, pink, red, green, purple, or white. These blooms often change hue based on the soil's pH level, offering a dynamic visual appeal throughout the growing season. Beyond their beauty, hydrangeas are relatively easy to care for, making them a popular choice among gardeners.

In a mixed border, let hydrangeas anchor the middle layer with their bold leaves and oversized flower heads. Dappled shade or filtered sunlight suits them, so choose companion plants that thrive under similar conditions for a pleasing blend. Arrange a few in large containers near entrances or patios, where their robust blooms can greet visitors. For a broader impression, line them along a fence or foundation in a massed planting that softens hard edges and ties the landscape together.

Types of Hydrangeas

Type	Scientific Name	Flower Color	Bloom Time	Zones	Exposure	Pruning
Bigleaf (French, Mophead/Lacecap)	Hydrangea macrophylla	White, pink, blue, purple, or red (soil pH can shift color)	June to October	6–9 (some hardy to 4–5 with protection)	Part to full shade (full sun only if soil stays moist)	Blooms on old wood; some bloom on both. Minimal pruning; remove dead wood in spring.
Smooth (Wild Hydrangea)	Hydrangea arborescens	White to pink	June to September	3–9	Part shade (full sun with consistently moist soil)	Blooms on new wood; prune heavily in late winter/early spring.
Panicle (PeeGee)	Hydrangea paniculata	Typically white, aging to pink or red	July to September	3–8 (some to 9)	Full sun to part shade	Blooms on new wood; prune in late winter or early spring.
Oakleaf	Hydrangea quercifolia	White, turning pink to red with age	July to September	5–9	Full sun to part shade	Blooms on old wood; prune after flowering if needed.
Climbing	Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris	White, lacecap-like	May to July	4–8	Part to full shade	Woody vine; blooms on old wood. Prune lightly after flowering.
Mountain (Tea of Heaven)	Hydrangea serrata	Pink or blue (varies with soil pH)	June to August	6–9	Part shade	Blooms on old wood; minimal pruning, remove dead wood in spring.

Hydrangeas Care

Hydrangeas thrive in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. They prefer morning sun and afternoon shade, as too much direct sunlight can cause stress. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. For optimal growth, fertilize hydrangeas in early spring and mid-summer with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.

Pruning hydrangeas depends on the type, with some blooming on new wood, old wood, or a combination of the two. Mophead, mountain, oakleaf, and climbing hydrangeas flower on old wood and should be pruned immediately after flowering; prune others in late winter or early spring. Protect plants during winter by adding mulch around the base to insulate roots. For potted plants, choose a container with adequate drainage and rich potting soil, and water frequently to maintain moisture.

Changing Color of Hydrangeas

You can shift the color of some hydrangeas with a few strategic steps. Flower shades often depend on the soil’s pH and aluminum availability. To alter hydrangeas from pink to blue, you should increase aluminum exposure and lower soil pH by using aluminum sulfate or compost. To shift from blue to pink, minimize aluminum uptake by using dolomitic lime or high-phosphorus fertilizers. These adjustments are easier to do for potted plants than for those in the ground.

Water quality, organic additives like coffee grounds, and specialized fertilizers can each play a role in coaxing hydrangeas toward a new hue. For best results, regularly monitor and adjust soil acidity and watering habits as needed. True white varieties cannot be recolored; however, certain cultivars may adopt slight tints with age.

Hydrangea Companion Plants

Companions for hydrangeas thrive in rich, well-drained soil that retains moisture and benefits from a generous layer of mulch, ideally in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade. Evergreen boxwoods provide winter structure and wind protection around the base of hydrangeas, while shade-loving hostas and ferns fill in beneath the canopy with contrasting leaf forms and year-round interest. For seasonal flair, plant coleus and impatiens at the hydrangea’s feet—their colorful foliage and blooms mask bare spots in year one and can be swapped out annually to complement changing flower hues.
