Hydrangeas require proper watering, ideal soil conditions, and adequate sunlight to ensure their health and vitality. They should be spaced according to their mature size, with larger varieties like oakleaf hydrangeas or mophead hydrangeas needing around 6 to 7 feet of space. Spacing varies with the type grown, but generally, hydrangeas should be grown at least 5 feet (1.5m) apart.
Oakleaf hydrangeas require around 7 to 9 feet of space, while climbing hydrangeas need about 6 to 7 feet. Space the minimum of 30″ from the center and space the hydrangeas with a one foot buffer around the width of a mature plant. Endless Summer Hydrangeas mature about 3-5 feet across, so it is recommended to space three in that area.
To achieve a dense wall look, plants can be planted closer together, but not more than one foot under the minimum number. Planting hydrangeas anytime during the growing season is recommended, but in the North, planting them anywhere from 3 to 10 feet apart depends on the type. Always space plants based on their expected growth size to avoid future transplants.
In summary, hydrangeas require proper watering, ideal soil conditions, and adequate sunlight to thrive and bloom beautifully. Proper spacing and timing are essential for hydrangeas to thrive and bloom beautifully.
