Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, select a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade – any area with approximately 4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day, along with a bit of dappled shade, is perfect.

When you’re ready to plant your Hydrangea, dig a hole that’s about two to two and a half times the size of your plant’s root ball, place it in the hole, backfill the soil and water to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Your Summer Crush® is heat tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule. Water your shrub about once weekly or more often in extreme heat and check the surrounding soil – if your soil is dry, about 3 inches down, it’s time to water your plant.

3. Fertilizing: Feed your Summer Crush® Hydrangea with a well-balanced blend in early spring, before flowering begins.

4. Pruning: Remove any wild branches, or prune for your desired shape and size during late summer or fall, after flowering is complete for your Summer Crush®.
