Hydrangeas Are Our Specialty!

Are you having trouble getting blooms on your hydrangeas?  At Wayside Garden Center, hydrangeas are our specialty.  We know how beautiful and fulfilling a hydrangea plant in full bloom can be for your garden.  If you are struggling with your hydrangea, follow these planting tips and tricks:

Where to plant:  Hydrangeas bloom the best in morning sun and afternoon shade.  Depending on how north you live, your hydrangea plant may need more sun.  No hydrangea will thrive in heavy shade or excessive sun so choose a spot with a good balance.  Also, know that hydrangeas planted under a tree often fail to thrive because tree roots are very aggressive.  Tree roots will gravitate towards moist soil and overtake a hydrangeas space.

How to plant:  In order to get the most out of your hydrangeas, choose a location where the plant can reach its full potential.  Expect your hydrangea plant to grow 4 feet by 4 feet and plan accordingly.  Plant the hydrangea bush in well-drained soil with the proper mulch.  Frequently water your hydrangea or plant your hydrangea in an area where it can get plenty of natural moisture.

When to plant:  Hydrangeas bought from a garden center can typically be planted at any time of year.  However, you will find the best results in early summer or late fall when temperatures are mild. Avoid planting in early spring when frost is still possible and avoid extremely hot weather because the hydrangeas will require excessive care.
