Plant Care

Will this plant thrive in your climate?

Make sure you live within USDA Zones 3-8 by checking our Grow Zone Guide.

Select a site with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. In southern climates, provide afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. Space plants 3 feet apart to ensure proper air circulation and prevent powdery mildew.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Cut the main branches back by about one-third of their total height to encourage strong new stems and a profusion of large blooms, as this variety flowers on "new wood."

Apply a granular, slow-release fertilizer formulated for woody plants (like a rose fertilizer) once in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, as panicle hydrangeas are generally light feeders and excessive nitrogen can reduce flowering.

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base in late fall to insulate the roots. While extremely cold-hardy, container-grown plants should be moved to a sheltered area or wrapped in burlap if temperatures drop significantly below zero.
