We spent saturday planting hydrangeas and gardenias in a quick diy flowerbed. this quick diy flowerbed project only took us about 3 hours. gardening is just what we love to do. we look forward to the weekends so we can work on a new project. this weekend we decided to tackle the side of our house. Here are 5 simple tips for planting hydrangeas. tip 1: location, location, umm…location. here is the flower bed before. see how overgrown the shrubs were? we removed a couple of the plants to make way for the hydrangea. the key to any hydrangea planting is to choose the right location.
As with hydrangeas, pieris japonica needs a partially shaded, sheltered spot. 6. conifers. when thinking about what to plant with hydrangeas, don't overlook trees and bushes. conifers, such as junipers, pines, and dwarf pines, are some of the best companion plants for hydrangeas. Step 3. pour a small amount of your soil mixture in the bottom of the container. set your plant in the container and make necessary adjustments by adding or removing some soil so that the top edge of the root ball will sit 1 2 to 1" below the rim of the container. step 4. Avoid cutting or spreading roots apart. step 3. pour a small amount of your soil mixture in the bottom of the container. set the plant in the container and make necessary adjustments by adding or removing some soil so that the top edge of the root ball will sit 1 2 to 1" below the rim of the container. step 4. Water. hydrangeas need a deep drink of water one to two times a week during the growing season. stick your finger about 4 inches into the ground and water if it feels dry. saturate but do not waterlog the soil. light watering is insufficient because the water will not reach the root system.

Hydrangeas’ basic needs include: full sun to partial shade —hydrangeas like full sun, provided it’s not too hot or harsh. morning sun combined with some afternoon shade is ideal. adequate moisture plus good drainage —your planting site should provide just the right balance of moisture and aeration. To plant a hydrangea shrub, first dig a wide hole in your landscape. it should be at least 2 ft wider than the plants roots. there is no need for the hole to be deeper than the rootball. gently loosen the roots, place the hydrangea into the hole at the same depth it was in the pot, and fill it back in with soil.
