How to care for your Hydrangea Bluebird

  • Sunlight: Prefers partial shade to full sun. It can tolerate full sun in cooler climates, but in hot climates, it will benefit from some shade.
  • Water: It needs to be kept consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly and regularly, especially during dry spells.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, moist soil that is rich in organic matter. It is a good idea to add compost to the soil when planting, and mulch around the base of the shrub to help retain moisture.
  • Fertilisation: Fertilise with a balanced fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
  • Pruning: Prune in late Winter or early Spring, before new growth appears. Remove any dead or damaged wood, and shape the shrub as desired.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your Hydrangea ‘Blue Bird’ will thrive and produce beautiful blooms for years to come.
