Planting & Care

Plant your bare root PeeGee Hydrangea in spring or fall while the plant is dormant. Soak the roots for a few hours before planting, then set the crown at or slightly below soil level in a hole wide enough to spread the roots. Backfill with native soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil and remove air pockets.

Choose a site with morning sun and afternoon shade in hotter regions, or full sun in cooler climates. Water regularly during the first growing season to help the shrub establish, then reduce to deep weekly watering during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture, and prune in late winter or early spring to encourage strong new growth and abundant blooms.
