How Do You Grow Hydrangeas In Containers?
Hydrangeas are loved for their showy white, pink or blue blossoms and their lush greenery. Twenty-three species of hydrangea exist, although only five are cultivated in the United States. Hydrangeas grown in containers make lovely patio plants and require just a bit more care than those planted in-ground. Fill your container 1/4 to 1/3 full of potting soil. Remove your hydrangea from its original container and set it in the pot. The top of the plant’s soil should sit about 1 to 2 inches below the rim of your pot. Add more soil underneath the plant if it sits lower in the pot. Fill the container completely with soil, pressing down to remove any air pockets. Water the plant until the potting soil is moist, but not soggy. Place your pot in a location that receives morning sun and partial afternoon shade, especially in hot climates.
