With its enchanting blue and pink flowers, this hydrangea offers a delightful display that can elevate the aesthetic of your yard. One standout feature of this plant is its thick stems, which expertly support the blooms, keeping them upright even in windy conditions and heavy rain.

Planting a Blushing Blues™ Hydrangea means inviting durability and charm into your garden. Its appealing color palette and reliable blooming habits are sure to bring joy to your outdoor space. Beyond aesthetics, it's a lower-maintenance choice that rewards gardeners with lush foliage and bright blooms, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned green thumbs and newcomers alike.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: When planting your Blushing Blues™ Hydrangea, choose a location with partial sun for optimal growth—about 4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily is ideal. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and about the same depth. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground surface, and backfill the hole with soil.
2. Watering: Hydrangeas thrive with consistent moisture, particularly during their first growing season. Water your Blushing Blues™ regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Once established, you can cut back on watering, though during dry spells, an extra drink will keep the plant happy.
3. Pruning: To promote prolific blooming, prune your Blushing Blues™ Hydrangea in late winter or early spring. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back the previous season’s growth to shape the plant and encourage new blooms. A light trim will suffice, as this shrub tends to hold its shape well.
4. Fertilizing: Feed your hydrangea in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support growth and flowering. Organic options like compost can also be beneficial. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of blooms.
