How to Plant Hydrangea Shrub

Planting Hydrangea shrubs can be a fun and rewarding experience. Hydrangea care can be intimidating but if you follow a few simple rules you’ll find the summer blooms are well worth the work!

While doing your research, it’s important to keep in mind that there are different kinds of Hydrangeas. Each with its own unique look and care requirements.

Choose Your Hydrangea Each type and variety of Hydrangeas for sale have different needs. Some work best in milder climates like those in USDA Growing Zones 3-7 while others might thrive in zones 6-10.

Location Selection Many Hydrangeas like full sun with some afternoon shade so finding the correct place to home your Hydrangea can sometimes be challenging.

Place Shrub and Backfill With Soil Go ahead and set your Hydrangea in the hole so that its base is level to, or even a little higher than, the surrounding soil. It’s worth noting that you might want to take a step back and check the shrub is in the ground straight - figuring that out once the roots are buried is less fun.

Water in Well & Mulch These last two steps can be done in either order, but they’re both important. After the roots are buried, completely saturate the soil around the shrub.
