Compact, Multi-Color Hydrangea With Long-Lasting Blooms
Why Early Evolution Hydrangeas?
Early Evolution Hydrangea stands out from typical panicle hydrangeas with wide, flat, fragrant blooms that cover the plant so profusely the foliage and stems can nearly disappear beneath the flowers. Blooming as early as late spring, the flowers begin pale lime-green before transitioning to white, blush, and eventually deep pink in fall.
With up to five months of blooms, Early Evolution Hydrangea delivers an impressive progression of color for nearly half the year. Its long-lasting flowers and relatively low-maintenance growth make it a colorful addition to borders, foundation plantings, and other landscape spaces.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with morning sun and afternoon shade. Avoid planting your hydrangeas in a heavily shaded spot. Soil content is also important for hydrangeas because it should drain well yet also maintain sufficient moisture.
When you're ready to plant, dig the planting hole 2 feet wider than the root ball and to a depth of the tip of the root ball. Set the hydrangea in the hole, making sure it's not planted too deeply. Spread a 3” layer of mulch around the shrub to insulate roots and help conserve moisture. Finally, water to settle the roots.
2. Watering: Give your hydrangea an inch of water each week. This includes any rainfall. Hydrangeas prefer slow, deep watering in the morning, as they are prone to wilting in the heat of the day. If you're not sure when and how much to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 2 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water until it's moist.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your hydrangeas in early spring with a slow release rose fertilizer. Another application can be made in early summer, but avoid fertilizing beyond this point. Discontinue fertilizing if the plant appears wilted or unhealthy.
4. Pruning: Prune in the spring to remove dead tips from winter. You can also prune back in the fall or early spring for shaping without worry - it'll grow and bloom again!
