Hydrangea Care Tips
Make the most out of your Pop Star® and other Endless Summer® hydrangeas by following these care tips!

● Planting
○ When planting Pop Star®, make sure you do so in a spot that will accommodate its mature size of 18-36”, receives morning sun and dappled afternoon shade, and where the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients.

● Fertilizing
