Quick Fire® Hydrangea Bush

Our Quick Fire® Hydrangea Plant is a breeding breakthrough in more than one way! Blooming at least a month earlier that most hydrangeas, the pH of your soil also will not decide the color of the blossoms. Quick Fire bursts into bloom with white blossoms that quickly change to an un-hydrangea-like exceptionally deep, rosy-pink, often before other varieties have even started to bloom. Bearing its flowers on new wood, this Proven Winners® selection will continue to bloom even after the harshest winters. Plant this new hydrangea where everyone can see it!

Planting Instructions:

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

Soil Preparation:

• - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0
• - Prefers well-drained soil with organic matter for most bush varieties

Watering Specifics:

• - Water thoroughly when first planted, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
• - Once established, most bushes are drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering during dry spells

Fertilizer Type:

• - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth
• - Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms or fruit

Pruning and Training:

• - Pruning if done at all, is best done in late winter or early spring

Additional Pest Management:

• - Most bushes are pest-resistant, though monitor for aphids, mites, or scale insects depending on the species
• - Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues in dense growth

Temperature Tolerance:

• - Tolerates heat and cold once established
