Tips for Care:

No need to fuss with pH in your soil to keep these dense mopheads a lovely pink hue! Smooth Hydrangea thrives in full sun in cooler climates but appreciates a shaded location in hot growing zones. Mulch their site well to keep the roots cool and hold in moisture, since they do best in average, consistent moisture. Prune to the ground if desired in early spring or clean up the mounds before you see new growth in spring. Tolerant of about any kind of well-drained soil, they prefer enriched organic medium.

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Moderate Moisture
• Any Well-Drained Soil
• Prune Early Spring
• Highly Adaptable, Easy-Care & Very Winter Hardy!
