I have a container-grown hydrangea I would like to transfer to the yard. Where is the best location, and do I add nutrients at the time of planting?
Skip the extra nutrients, but find this plant a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade. An area with filtered sun all day long also would be a good location. Care after it has been set in the ground is important, too. Most of all, keep the soil moist. These plants use lots of water, especially during hot, dry times. Also, add 3 to 4 inches of mulch over the root system, but keep it back several inches from the main stems. You can feed the hydrangea once monthly in March, June, August and October using a light application of a general garden fertilizer.
