Care
FlowerFull® Smooth Hydrangea Care
Plant in rich, well-drained soil that retains moisture without remaining saturated. Smooth hydrangeas perform best with consistent moisture during active growth and bloom.
Water deeply during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, provide supplemental watering during dry periods to maintain healthy foliage and flowering.
Feed in early spring with a balanced slow release fertilizer to support vigorous growth.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Because FlowerFull® blooms on new wood, annual pruning encourages a full display of flowers.
