Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, choose an area with full sun to partial shade for your Oakleaf Hydrangea (simply shield it from excessive afternoon sun). The Oakleaf grows easily in organically-rich soil that’s somewhat moist but well-drained. However, it thrives in most soil types and prefers summer mulch.

To plant your Oakleaf Hydrangea, dig a hole deep enough to cover its root ball. After placing your plant, tamp down the soil while backfilling to avoid air pockets. Water your Oakleaf to settle the soil that surrounds the roots.

2. Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first full growing season so that your Oakleaf Hydrangea’s root system becomes well-established. To test when and how much to water, check the top 2 to 3 inches of soil – if it’s dry, it’s time to water until it’s moist but not oversaturated. During times of drought, the Oakleaf should be watered twice weekly instead of once weekly.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your Oakleaf Hydrangea regularly during the growing season – this helps your plant to establish and thrive in your landscape.

4. Pruning: Prune if needed immediately after flowering. Any winter-damaged stems may be pruned in early spring, and some additional pruning for shaping purposes is fine.
