Blaumeise Hydrangea is considered one of the best blue lacecap cultivars. Deep-blue blooms can grow as wide as 8 inches and layer nicely over dark green, serrated leaves. Grows with a spreading habit and fills empty spaces well, making it ideal as a hedge or focal point. Blooms on old wood, therefore, prune only immediately after flowering. Blaumeise Hydrangea is classically elegant yet robust, rewarding gardeners with consistent, lush blooms from early to mid-summer.

Blaumeise Hydrangea Planting/Care Instructions

Before planting, have your soil tested to see what amendments are needed. Click this link to check your frost dates: Frost Dates. Check the light preferences for your plant and choose your location accordingly.

When you receive your Blaumeise Hydrangea, soak the root ball in water for 20 minutes upon arrival before planting or potting. Gently break up the root ball. This will help the roots of your Blaumeise Hydrangea to grow out into the soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of your plant. Fill in the hole tightly with soil to avoid any air pockets.

Add a bit of slow-release fertilizer to help new plants to grow quickly. Add the recommended amount per fertilizer instructions. Be sure to water your Blaumeise Hydrangea until it is established. In addition, pull weeds out when they appear. They take nutrients from the soil.

Additionally, certain plants may need staking. Whenever they become too heavy to stand on their own, add bamboo or fiberglass stakes for the plants to lean against or tie up for support.
Prune plants as needed to encourage growth. Always sterilize your pruners when pruning plants to prevent the spread of diseases.

Lastly, enjoy your Blaumeise Hydrangea and your time in the garden!

Please Note: We currently do not ship plants to Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah or Washington. These states have strict shipping regulations against pests from other states. Extended transit time is also a factor in this decision. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Many factors influence which plants will thrive in a given location. Heat, cold, and elevation are just a few that can have a big impact. ** Pot size may vary as the size of plant could dictate the price.

We grow some plants, especially Japanese maples, in a greenhouse. For this reason, the colors may not be true to what they would be if they were grown in the sun. In this case, plants should be slowly acclimated to sunnier areas.
