They typically perform best with at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Ensure the planting site has good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

When it comes to watering, Hydrangeas are thirsty plants. Water deeply and regularly, especially during their first year of establishment and during hot, dry periods.

Pruning requirements vary by Hydrangea type; generally, prune after flowering for varieties that bloom on old wood, and in late winter/early spring for those that bloom on new wood. Protect young plants from harsh winter winds in colder zones. Observing your plants for any signs of stress, such as wilting or discolored leaves, will help you address issues promptly.
