LightPlant in full or part sun in cooler climates. In warm areas, plant with some morning sun and shade during the hottest part of the day.
FertilizerEasy-care panicle hydrangeas don't need much fertilizer - one application of a granular rose fertilizer in early spring is sufficient.
PruningPruning panicle hydrangeas like Quick Fire Fab® hydrangea is easy: just cut each stem back by about one-third its total height in late winter or early spring, and remove any thin, spindly branches. This builds a strong base while encouraging lots of new growth for dozens of fabulous flowers.
When to plantQuick Fire Fab® hydrangea can be planted spring through fall. In cooler climates, you may even plant it in summer, provided you'll be around to monitor watering needs. In hot climates, early spring or fall planting is recommended.
