Introduction

Hydrangeas are beloved for their lush, colorful blooms that can brighten any garden. With their large, showy flowers and versatile colors, hydrangeas are a favorite among gardeners. The good news? Growing healthy, gorgeous hydrangeas doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few simple tricks, you can ensure your hydrangeas thrive year after year.

1. Choose the Right Location 🌞

Hydrangeas prefer morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates.

Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can reduce flowering.

Ensure the soil is well-draining, as hydrangeas don’t like standing water.

2. Pick the Perfect Soil 🌱

Hydrangeas thrive in rich, fertile soil.

Adding organic matter like compost improves soil structure and provides nutrients.

Soil pH can influence flower color for certain hydrangea types:

Acidic soil (pH < 6) → blue flowers

Neutral to alkaline soil (pH 6–7.5) → pink flowers

3. Water Consistently 💧
