Hydrangea Macrophylla Live Plants: Add Elegance to Your Garden

Bring classic beauty to your home with Hydrangea macrophylla live plants. These shrubs are ideal for adding a touch of elegance to any garden or indoor space. Thriving in partial to full shade, these plants offer versatility and beauty. Hydrangea macrophylla is best grown in rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade. Tolerates full sun only if grown in consistently moist soils.

The unique characteristic of Hydrangea macrophylla is their ability to change flower color based on soil pH. In highly acidic soils, the flowers turn blue, while slightly acidic to alkaline soils produce lilac to pink blooms. This makes them a fascinating addition to any plant collection. Add aluminum sulfate to the soil to make the flowers bluer or add lime to the soil to make the flowers pinker. Begin soil treatments well in advance of flowering, as in late autumn or early spring.

These live plants require minimal pruning. If needed, prune immediately after flowering by cutting back flowering stems to a pair of healthy buds. Remove weak or winter-damaged stems in late winter or early spring. Mulch year-round with 3″ of shredded bark, peat, or compost to maintain moisture and protect the roots. Most bigleaf hydrangeas simply will not bloom (or will bloom poorly) in some years because of a variety of winter occurrences beyond the control of the gardener (e.g. low temperatures, sudden wide temperature fluctuations, icy conditions, late frosts).
