Planting & Care

Plant Fire Light Tidbit® Hydrangeas in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth as the container. Position the shrub so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil, backfill, and water thoroughly. Apply mulch around the base to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots. Prune in late winter or early spring by cutting back the main branches to encourage vigorous new growth and abundant flowering.
