Cultivation Guide

  • Pruning: Prune after flowering, just to the first pair of buds below the old flower. 
  • Soil pH: Acidic soil (pH below 6.5) is necessary for blue blooms. 
  • Fertilization: Use a fertilizer that provides nutrients for hydrangeas. 
  • Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during hot, dry periods. 
  • Container Growing: Well-suited for containers and can be used as a “thriller” in container combinations.
