Care Guide

Watering Requirements

Hydrangeas love water, so newly planted shrubs need frequent watering, often 2-3 times a week or daily in hot weather to establish strong roots, while established in-ground plants only need a deep soaking 1-2 times a week. Containers always dry out faster and require daily checking, often needing a thorough watering almost every single day during the summer heat. Water containers thoroughly until water seeps out the drainage holes to ensure roots deep in the container get watered. Always water deeply at the base to keep leaves dry and prevent disease!

Sunlight Requirements

Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Unlike most other hydrangeas, panicle hydrangeas are highly sun tolerant and can flourish in full sun in northern climates. In hotter southern climates, they appreciate a little more protection, preferably morning sun and afternoon shade.

Humidity Requirements

Prefers moderate to high humidity. Hydrangea thrive in coastal or naturally humid environments, but if you live in a very arid, dry climate, they will need extra afternoon shade and a thick layer of mulch to keep the surrounding air and soil from drying out too fast.

Pet-Friendly Plant?

No, use caution when placing this plant in homes with pets.
