The MiracleGro Way to Grow Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are beautiful flowering shrubs that can add a touch of elegance to any garden. They come in a variety of colors, including blue, pink, purple, and white. And with a little care, they can thrive for many years.

If you're thinking about adding hydrangeas to your garden, Miracle-Gro can help. We have a wide range of products that can help you grow healthy, beautiful hydrangeas.

In this blog post, we'll share some tips on how to grow hydrangeas with Miracle-Gro. We'll cover everything from choosing the right location to fertilizing and pruning.

Choosing the Right Location

The first step to growing hydrangeas is choosing the right location. Hydrangeas do best in moist, well-drained soil. They also prefer partial shade, so avoid planting them in full sun.

If you live in a warm climate, you may need to protect your hydrangeas from the hot afternoon sun. You can do this by planting them under a tree or in a spot that gets morning sun and afternoon shade.

Soil Preparation

Before you plant your hydrangeas, it's important to prepare the soil. Add some compost or peat moss to the soil to improve drainage and add nutrients. You may also need to add some lime if your soil is too acidic.

Planting

Hydrangeas should be planted in the spring or fall. When planting, dig a hole that is twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the hydrangea in the hole and backfill with soil. Water the hydrangea thoroughly.

Fertilizing

Hydrangeas need to be fertilized regularly to produce their best blooms. You can use a balanced fertilizer, such as Miracle-Gro® Shake 'n Feed® Flowering Trees & Shrubs Plant Food. Fertilize your hydrangeas in the spring and again in the summer.

Pruning

Hydrangeas should be pruned in the spring, before new growth begins. Prune to remove any dead, diseased, or damaged branches. You can also prune to shape the hydrangea.

Watering

Hydrangeas need to be watered regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Water deeply, so that the water reaches the roots.

Winter Protection

If you live in a cold climate, you may need to protect your hydrangeas from the winter cold. You can do this by covering the hydrangeas with a burlap sack or evergreen boughs.

Enjoying Your Hydrangeas

With a little care, hydrangeas can thrive for many years. And with their beautiful blooms, they'll add a touch of elegance to your garden for years to come.
