Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. When planting your Show Stopper Hydrangea, choose a location with partial sun for optimal growth—about 4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily is ideal. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and about the same depth. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground surface, and backfill the hole with soil. Add a 2–3" layer of mulch 3 feet around plant to conserve water, insulate roots, and suppress weeds.
2. Watering: Hydrangeas prefer consistent moisture, so water regularly, especially during dry spells. During establishment, water deeply 2-3 times a week. Adjust based on rainfall and temperature.
3. Pruning: Show Stopper blooms on old and new wood, which means buds for the next season are made at the end of the current season, along with new buds that create a second bloom for the current season. Pruning should be limited to removing dead or diseased growth. Prune in spring, when new green growth starts to emerge.
4. Fertilizing: Use a slow-release fertilizer like Espoma Garden Food 5-10-5 in early spring to provide nutrients. Espoma Soil Acidifier can be used to lower the pH and turn the blooms blue; Espoma Garden Lime can be used to raise the pH and turn the blooms pink.
