How do I plant a Wee Bit Giddy Hydrangea?
Plant your Wee Bit Giddy Hydrangea in well-drained, rich soil that stays evenly moist. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. Set the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the ground, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle roots. Apply a 2-3 inch mulch layer to help retain moisture and protect the shallow roots from temperature swings.

How often should I water Wee Bit Giddy Hydrangea?
Hydrangeas prefer consistent moisture, especially during active growth and blooming. Water deeply 1–2 times per week, increasing frequency during hot or dry spells. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but don’t allow it to stay soggy. A mulch ring helps preserve moisture and prevents weeds. Established plants develop moderate drought tolerance, but regular watering ensures the biggest and brightest blooms.

When and how should I fertilize Wee Bit Giddy Hydrangea?
Feed your hydrangea in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (10-10-10 or similar). A light feeding after the first bloom can encourage reblooming later in the season. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which promote leafy growth instead of flowers. For more vibrant color, consider soil pH adjustments: acidic soil produces more magenta-purple blooms, while neutral to slightly alkaline soil results in richer red-pink tones.Wee Bit Giddy flourish when planted in zones 5 through 9 and they have slightly different sun preferences depending on where you are located. In cooler climates where there is less risk of scorching the leaves, they are happiest front and center in a full sun position. In hotter climates, partial shade will reduce the risk of scorching your plants. They need at least 6 hours of sunlight if they are in a partial sun or partial shade position.
When should I prune Wee Bit Giddy Hydrangea?
Wee Bit Giddy blooms on both old and new wood, so minimal pruning is needed. In late winter or early spring, remove only dead or weak stems to improve airflow. After flowering, deadhead spent blooms to encourage fresh color through summer. Avoid hard pruning, which can reduce early-season flowers.
