Hydrangea Seasonal Care
🌸 Spring (Mar–May)
Spring is the season of new growth. This is the best time to clean up winter damage and encourage healthy blooms.
- Prune dead branches and old blooms.
- Fertilize lightly to promote growth.
- Check soil moisture regularly.
☀️ Summer (Jun–Aug)
Hydrangeas are in full bloom during summer and require consistent care to maintain vibrant flowers.
- Water deeply once or twice a week.
- Mulch around base to retain moisture.
- Watch for pests like aphids or spider mites.
🍂 Fall (Sep–Nov)
As temperatures cool, begin preparing your hydrangeas for dormancy and the coming winter months.
- Remove faded blooms and fallen leaves.
- Reduce watering gradually.
- Prepare soil for winter.
❄️ Winter (Dec–Feb)
Hydrangeas rest during winter. Protection is key to ensure strong growth in spring.
- Protect roots with mulch or straw.
- Do not prune until new growth begins in spring.
- Trim any damage from snow or ice.
