Mistakes When Growing Panicle Hydrangeas

What to watch out for:

Planting time: It’s better to plant in autumn than summer. Plants without flowers establish roots faster.
Watering: Soak the root ball thoroughly before planting and water abundantly afterward. Water regularly during the first few weeks.
Soil: Improve your garden soil with up to 30% peat or compost — never plant in pure peat alone.
Pruning: An annual prune promotes healthy growth and abundant blooms.
