Maintenance Tips for Hydrangea macrophylla 'Jip Rosa'

Caring for Hydrangea macrophylla 'Jip Rosa' ensures healthy growth and vibrant blooms throughout the season. Follow these maintenance tips to cultivate a thriving plant:

• Planting Location: Choose a site with partial shade to full sun, ensuring well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Hydrangeas prefer moist, fertile soil and benefit from morning sun with afternoon shade in hotter climates.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot weather and periods of drought. Water deeply to encourage deep root growth.
• Soil pH Management: Adjust soil pH to influence flower color. Acidic soils produce blue flowers, while alkaline soils produce pink flowers. Use aluminum sulfate for blue flowers and lime for pink flowers.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in early spring and again in mid-summer to promote strong growth and flowering.
• Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to remove spent blooms and dead wood. Avoid heavy pruning, as this may reduce next year's flowering.
• Winter Care: Mulch around the base of the plant in late fall to protect roots from freezing temperatures. In colder climates, consider wrapping the plant with burlap for additional protection.
