Bigleaf Hydrangea
Bigleaf hydrangeas vary in height from 5 to 10 feet tall and will be about 10 feet wide when fully mature. As their name suggests, bigleaf hydrangea leaves are large, about 4 to 8 inches long and 4 to 6 inches wide as you can see in the photo.

Choosing Bigleaf Hydrangea
This Bailey Nurseries introduction is a breakthrough in Hydrangeas because of its ability to flower on new or the current season's wood or growth. The flower grow up to 8" in diameter with pink blooms in alkaline soils and blue blooms in acidic soils.

Caring For Bigleaf Hydrangea
Sprinkle a handful of an all-purpose granular fertilizer (preferably with a slow release form of nitrogen) on the soil under the shrub in the early spring. Not only is it important to water newly planted shrubs regularly for a few weeks, but even established hydrangeas appreciate supplemental watering if rainfall is irregular.

Planting Bigleaf Hydrangea
PLANT IN SPRING - Spring is the best time for planting because the shrubs will have lots of time to establish themselves before frost. There are a number of products at the garden center that will help your newly planted or transplanted plants deal better with the stress inherent in the planting process.

Using Bigleaf Hydrangea
Choose mature blossoms and hang them by their stems in a dry, warm area until they are dry. An alternative is to put them in a vase with a little water, allowing the water to gradually evaporate.
