Hydrangea Macrophylla Live Plants: Add Vibrant Color to Your Garden

Enhance your garden with Hydrangea macrophylla, a beautiful shrub known for its large, vibrant blooms. These live hydrangea plants are ideal for adding color and texture to shaded areas. With proper care, you can enjoy a stunning display of flowers that change color based on your soil’s pH level. These plants are perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners, creating a truly eye-catching display.

Hydrangea macrophylla live plants thrive best in rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils. They tolerate full sun only if the soil is consistently moist. The soil pH affects the flower color; blue in highly acidic soils and lilac to pink in slightly acidic to alkaline soils. Add aluminum sulfate to make flowers bluer or add lime to make flowers pinker. Soil treatments should begin well in advance of flowering, such as in late autumn or early spring for optimal results.

These hydrangea shrubs generally need little pruning. If needed, prune immediately after flowering by cutting back flowering stems to a pair of healthy buds. Prune out weak or winter-damaged stems in late winter/early spring. Mulch plants year-round with 3 inches of shredded bark, peat, or compost. While bigleaf hydrangeas are resilient, blooming can sometimes be affected by severe winter conditions.
