Planting Guide:

1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the last frost.
2. Planting Location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-draining soil. Hydrangeas thrive in full sun but can tolerate some shade, particularly in hotter climates.
3. Soil Preparation: Hydrangeas prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil. Adding compost or organic matter can help improve soil fertility and drainage.
4. Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging, as this can cause root rot.
5. Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prune any dead or damaged stems in early spring to maintain a tidy shape and promote healthy growth.
