To ensure your hydrangeas produce impressive blooms in the summer, proper fertilization during the growing season is crucial. Here’s a detailed guide on how to fertilize them effectively:
- Know Your Hydrangea Type
Different hydrangea species (like Hydrangea macrophylla, Hydrangea paniculata, or Hydrangea arborescens) have slightly different needs. For example:
• Bigleaf hydrangeas (H. macrophylla): Thrive with balanced fertilizers but are sensitive to over-fertilization.
• Panicle hydrangeas (H. paniculata): Benefit from higher phosphorus content for abundant blooms.
• Smooth hydrangeas (H. arborescens): Are less picky but still benefit from periodic feeding.
