Planting & Care
To start hydrangea seeds, surface sow them on a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Press seeds gently into the soil but do not cover them, as light can help germination. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a warm temperature. Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a sheltered spot before planting outdoors after the last frost.
Hydrangeas prefer a location with morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning needs vary by variety; some hydrangeas bloom on old wood, so prune after flowering to avoid removing next year's buds.
