Transplanting hydrangeas involves careful preparation, a precise transplanting process, and thorough aftercare. The first step is to dig a hole in the garden bed, gently dig out the hydrangea bush, minimize disruption of the root system, and replant the hydrangea bush. Hydrangeas thrive under specific conditions that ensure they bloom beautifully.
To transplant hydrangeas, choose the perfect new spot for the plant and ensure you fully understand the reason for moving the plant. The best time to transplant hydrangeas is during the dormant season, typically in late fall or early spring, when the plant is not actively growing. This allows the hydrangea to establish its roots before transplanting.
Transplanting hydrangeas should be done before the ground freezes over, and in warmer areas, transplant them over winter between December and February, as long as the ground isn’t frozen. Carefully use your transplant spade to gently dig around the edges of your plant at the drip line without actually digging it up.
After transplanting the hydrangea, move it and replant it straight away in well-composted earth. The best time to transplant hydrangeas is during the dormant season, when the flowers have died back and most or all of the roots have been established.
