This hydrangea displays prolific blooming, producing numerous large, white flower clusters throughout the summer and into the fall. The plant prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun if provided with adequate moisture. It flourishes in well-drained, fertile soils with consistent moisture.

Default Beavercreek Nursery Bin – C6 Yearly Care Instructions- Requires regular watering, especially during dry periods, to maintain soil moisture. Applying a layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. In Zone 6, providing winter protection, such as additional mulch around the base, can safeguard the plant from harsh conditions. Trimming Instructions- Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, as it blooms on new wood. Remove any dead or weak stems to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Fertilization Instructions- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Avoid excessive fertilization, which can promote leafy growth at the expense of blooms. Fertilizer Recommendation- Plant-Tone Possible Issues- Powdery mildew, leaf spots, aphids, and spider mites
