Planting Directions

<h2>Planting Instructions</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Choose the Location:</strong> Select a spot with partial sun (morning sun and afternoon shade). The soil should be well-drained, fertile, and slightly acidic (pH 5.5–6.5).</li> <li><strong>Dig the Hole:</strong> Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and as deep as the root ball. Loosen the soil around the hole for better root growth.</li> <li><strong>Prepare the Soil:</strong> Mix organic compost or aged manure into the soil to boost nutrients and drainage.</li> <li><strong>Plant the Hydrangea:</strong> Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding ground. Backfill with soil, gently tamping it down to remove air pockets.</li> <li><strong>Water Thoroughly:</strong> Water immediately after planting until the soil is evenly moist but not soggy.</li> </ul>
<h2>Care Instructions</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Watering:</strong> Keep the soil consistently moist (1–2 inches of water per week). Use mulch (2–3 inches) to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.</li> <li><strong>Fertilizing:</strong> Feed with a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) in early spring and again in midsummer. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can reduce blooms.</li> <li><strong>Pruning:</strong> Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged wood. Tilt-A-Swirl blooms on new wood, so avoid heavy pruning.</li> <li><strong>Winter Care:</strong> Apply a layer of mulch around the base for insulation in colder climates.</li> <li><strong>Container Planting:</strong> Use a pot at least 18 inches wide with drainage holes. Water frequently as containers dry out faster.</li> </ul>
<p>With proper care, Tilt-A-Swirl® Hydrangea will reward you with gorgeous, multicolored blooms that change as the season progresses!</p>
