Tilt A Swirl™ Hydrangea Care

This Hydrangea will tolerate a wide range of soil pH and texture. A well drained and moist soil is a must. Hydrangeas like to have consistent moisture throughout the summer. Fertilizing is done once a season as the new growth emerges in the spring. A well balanced, slow release fertilizer is recommended. The blooming of this variety is constant and consistent throughout the summer. Deadheading can be done in the summer to keep the overall shape tidy. 

Pruning of dead, dying, diseased and diagonal branches is best done early in the spring before new growth starts. Any heavy pruning to rejuvenate this shrub will cause a year’s delay of blooms. Hydrangeas make lovely low growing hedges that have an informal feel to them. They should not be treated as clipped hedges if the blooms are desired.

Tilt A Swirl™ Hydrangea Spacing

Tilt A Swirl™ is the perfect compact shape at 3 feet high and 3 feet wide. When planted as a hedge or in the garden border a 3 foot on center spacing is needed. Hydrangeas planted in containers will need at least a 24 inch diameter.
