Moonlight Hydrangea is very adaptable but performs best in rich, well-drained, moist soil. If you plant this hardy Hydrangea in full sun, sufficient moisture is required and a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the soil surface. When planted in hot climates, they appreciate afternoon shade. During hot, dry summers additional watering will be required to keep it flowering. Prune Bigleaf Hydrangea after flowering only. This pH-sensitive Hydrangea will be blue in acidic soil, and pink in alkaline.
