They are winter hardy, most often don’t need any winter protection, and can withstand temperatures as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant them in evenly moist, nutrient-dense, and well-drained soil. Soil pH should range between 6.0 – 8.0 (Moderately acidic to moderately alkaline). The soil pH will have a direct effect on the color. The more acidic the soil, the bluer the flowers will become. The more alkaline the soil is, the pinker it will become. Purple flowers will result from being more in the middle. How fun, right?! They do well in full sun or partial shade. In the Northern United States, this hydrangea prefers morning sun only, with scattered shade in the afternoon. In the Southern United States, it prefers dappled shade all day. These light conditions will provide the best flower production.
