How to Care for Proven Winners® Color Choice® Let's Dance® Starlight Hydrangea

Before you buy a Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangea, make sure to read about the care instructions that are required and recommended to keep this plant healthy and thriving.

How do I plant my Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangea?

How do I plant my Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangea?

We suggest when planting your newly purchased Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangea plants that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not deeper. Depending on the quality of your existing soil you may need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil. We do not recommend using straight topsoil or compost as a back-fill soil because more times than not these products will retain entirely to much moisture and will cause the root system to rot.

How do I prune Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangea shrubs?

How do I prune Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangea shrubs?

Hydrangeas require very little pruning but can be trimmed after flowering if needed. Cut back the flowering stems all the way back to healthy bud formation. In late winter or early spring, prune the winter damaged or weak stems to prepare for new growth. It is important to always use sharp tools when pruning any plant. A sharp cut will heal quicker than a jagged cut, which will also minimize the likelihood of disease infesting a cut during pruning.

How do I water Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangeas?

How do I water Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangeas?

After back filling and lightly compacting the 50/50 mix of existing soil and compost, give the Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangea a good deep watering. This is not to be rushed. Most of the water you put on the plant at first will run away from the plant until the soil is soaked. A general rule of thumb is to count to 5 for every one gallon of pot size. Check the plant daily for the first week or so and then every other day there after. Water using the counting method for the first few weeks. A watering donut bag can be used to help aid in this process and also provide plants with a good soaking due to the slow release of the water into the root-zone of the plant. Soaker Hoses can also be used to water when planting a long hedge.

How do I fertilize Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangeas?

How do I fertilize Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangeas?

Macrophylla Hydrangeas grow best if they are fertilized once or twice in the summer. Although some authorities recommend special fertilizer mixes to get the maximum results, hydrangeas do amazingly well with a more relaxed approach. It naturally has blue flowers; however, the color can be changed and enhanced by adding soil acidifier such as Espoma Soil Acidifier to the soil. Either chemical fertilizers or organic matter can be used successfully.
