Care For Hydrangeas

One must have some gardening knowledge when it comes to having abundant blooms with hydrangeas. They can be tricky to prune in order to bloom abundantly. They are particular about what kind of soil and fertilizer they receive for bloom color. Hydrangeas are also choosy about what kind of light conditions they will do best in-partial shade is just the beginning.The following notes are meant to help guide you with your different hydrangea plants so you will get the most out of them.

Hydrangeas come in several varieties. Hydrangea arborescence,is one type of hydrangea and they have big white flowers and bloom on new wood. Hydrangea arborescence varieties flower on "new" wood and should be pruned in Autumn. These hydrangeas will put out new growth in spring which will have lots of flowers. The popular tree like hydrangeas are also white and are called paniculata hydrangeas and they benefit from fall pruning. Simple rule to follow: white blooms, fall prune.

It gets more complicated when you realize that there are other kinds of hydrangeas called hydrangea macrophyllas-these are the kind of hydrangeas that have lovely magenta to bright blue flowers Hydrangea macrophyllas bloom on "old" wood and can ONLY be pruned before Mid-July the year before. Did I say this was tricky or what?And probably not last but certainly not least is oakleaf hydrangea which blooms on "old" wood. When is the optimal time to prune?? The summer before.

There are a few things you can try in order to influence the pink or blueness of your flowers. Add aluminum and increase soil acidity in order to obtain blue flowers on your hydrangeas. You can use pine needles, and throw down a bunch of pennies or rusty nails(yeah, my thought exactly)to help acheive this. Attempting to alter the pH of soil is hard work that does not always pay off. Soils with less acidity and less aluminum produce pink hydrangea flowers. Incidentally if you can't get them to bloom in exactly the right color you were hoping for you can always put a few gazing balls on ornamental metal stands in the hydrangea bushes in blue or pink to get the color that way. It looks nice and gives you the color accent you are looking for without all the hard labor of transforming your soil pH.

If your hydrangeas are still looking kind of tired out it is likely that they are not getting the correct kind of light. Partial shade is recommended for hydrangea plants. They will live in the sun, but they won't look good in the sun. They will live in full shade, but they won't look good in full shade. Hydrangeas do best when they are plante in a spot that gets morning sun and PM shade. And as the name suggests they do not do well in drought(dry) conditions so remember to water them regularly and they should grow so abundantly you can use them as a hedge to hide an unsightly air conditioning unit, or plant them around the base of a bird feeder to hide all the spent seeds.

These [helpfull] hints should help increase the abundance of flowers on your hydrangeas. Clearly it is of utmost importance to be armed with some information about what kind of hydrangea plant you are dealing with before you even touch your plant or the soil around it. Once you are armed with this insider knowledge you won't be afraid to incorporate these lovely flowering shrubs into your garden because they are indeed glorious.
