It typically grows at a rate of approximately 24 inches per year. Its Soil and Water Conditions This kind of shrub likes moist soil that drains well. The most important thing to consider though is the soil's acidity or lack thereof, which ultimately plays a big role in determining bloom color. More acidic soil produces that vibrant blue color, but pink appears with more alkaline mixtures. You can raise acidity by adding sphagnum peat moss to the soil or nitrogen fertilizer. When fully grown, some hydrangeas can still grow in temperatures as frigid as 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That said, newer, younger plants need to be grown in temperatures no lower than 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. In general, these plants like mid to high humidity at any age, growing particularly well in summer. Too much of a dry climate, however, like what you might find in a desert, can make the plant wither and droop. Details on Pruning The Shrub Nikki blue hydrangeas require very little pruning. If you need to prune or cut your plant back, plan to do so before early fall and late summer to avoid cutting set buds or blooms. Cutting set buds could mean you don't grow flowers the following year. Dead branches, on the other hand, can be trimmed at any time. Buy Today At Garden Plant Nursery
