Planting Instructions:

• - Can be planted anytime the soil temps are 60F

Soil Preparation:

• - Ideal soil pH: 5.5-6.5 for blue blooms; slightly higher pH (6.5-7.0) for pink blooms
• - Thrives in rich, well-drained soil; amend with organic matter for moisture retention

Watering Specifics:

• - Water deeply and consistently during the first growing season to establish roots
• - Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; especially important during hot weather

Fertilizer Type:

• - Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring
• - For blue blooms, use fertilizers formulated for acid-loving plants

Pruning and Training:

• - Prune lightly after blooming to remove spent flowers and maintain shape
• - Avoid cutting back drastically, as most Cascade Hydrangeas bloom on old wood

Additional Pest Management:

• - Monitor for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and slugs
• - Ensure good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew and leaf spot

Temperature Tolerance:

• - Protect from harsh winter winds; mulch around the base in colder climates to insulate roots
