What is the best type of hydrangea to grow around this time of year?
Snowhills are perfect to grow in late June, just as spring begins to evolve into summer. The bush itself can grow up to 5’ in height, and their blossoms are an elegant shade of white. However, if you’re looking into growing a hydrangea later in the season, Peegees may be more along the line of what you should look into. They are ideally planted in August, and grow anywhere from 10’ – 15’ in height. Their blossoms start out as white, and fade into pink as fall approaches. 2. What type of soil should I plant my hydrangea in? Cultivated soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 6. Make sure not to plant your hydrangea under the shade of any trees because sunlight is crucial to its growth. 3. How much water does a hydrangea need? Hydrangeas need a large amount of sunlight in order to thrive and bloom, but they also need a large amount of water. Because you will be planting your flower in the midst of summer, plan on watering it at least once a week. 4. What type of pests should I look out for?
