Planting & Care
1. Planting: This hydrangea can handle partial sun in cooler climates, but in warmer climates, plant in part shade. Morning sun or dappled afternoon shade is ideal.
2. Watering: The Eclipse® Bigleaf Hydrangea prefers moist soil but not overly wet. If you notice the soil is dry around the base, give it a deep water. Overwatering may reduce flowering and keep the plant vegetative.
3. Pruning: Do not prune in the fall. Wait until the next spring to cut back any dead branches or bloom that don’t survive the winter.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release bloom-boosting fertilizer in spring and again in early July. Be careful not to over-fertilize.
