This guide provides information on growing hydrangeas in pots, including choosing the right pot, watering, fertilizing, and overwintering. The best time to plant hydrangeas in pots is in spring and fall, with pots measuring at least 16-24″ wide and deep. A large pot with good drainage holes in the bottom is recommended for hydrangeas.
To ensure proper care, choose a small, compact hydrangea variety and place it in a location with at least four hours of sun each day. Pots measuring at least 16-24″ wide and deep will often accommodate a good-sized hydrangea nicely for a few years. If you have a heavy container, move it into place before planting the hydrangea.
When placing hydrangeas in pots, leave a good 1-2″ between the top of the soil and the rim of the container to allow water to flow when needed. Once fully grown, a hydrangea will typically require a large container, such as a half-barrel, trough, or another large container.
In summary, choosing the right pot for hydrangeas is crucial for their growth and longevity. Proper care and attention to detail are essential for a successful and healthy plant.
