Plant Spacing

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

More Information

Description The perfect hydrangea for dramatic flower color, Wee Bit Grumpy® bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) boasts pink or deep purple-blue hues, depending on the soil. This hydrangea is compact, meaning no pruning is needed to keep this hydrangea looking tip-top! Its leathery dark green leaves resist wilting and help maintain this flowering shrub's good looks. Wee Bit Grumpy® is the perfect little hydrangea for landscaping and flower gardens. Details Botanical Name:  Hydrangea macrophylla 'Stragrum'
Common Name: Bigleaf hydrangea, Mophead hydrangea, Florist's hydrangea, Hortensia
Zone: 5-9
Sun Exposure: Sun in cool areas; part shade in warm climates.
Height x Width: 2' tall x 2.5' wide
Flower Color: White with purple or white with pink
Foliage Color: Green
Season of Interest: Summer
Bloom time: Summer
Features: Space savers, Proven Winners, heat tolerant, container plants, best sellers, best for beginners
Uses: Flower gardens, landscaping, specimen, flowering hedge
How To Grow Soil: Bigleaf hydrangeas require well-drained but moist soil. A good layer of mulch is very helpful for minimizing drought stress and conserving moisture.
Light: Plants can take full sun (6+ hrs/day) in cooler areas, but afternoon shade is recommended in warm climates. If your plant frequently wilts in the afternoon even though it was recently watered, that may indicate the spot is too sunny for it.
Water: Average to abundant (as long as soil is well drained).
Spacing: min. 3' apart
Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring, once the ground has thawed, with a granular rose fertilizer. Make an additional application in late spring/early summer if desired.
Winterizing: Do not cut plants back for winter! Doing so will cut off all of the flower buds for the following season. If plants show a lot of dieback in spring, consider moving them, as this indicates the spot may be too cold for the plant.
Maintenance & Pruning: Bloom on old wood, which means they have their flower buds for the following season all through winter, so they should not be cut back. It is best to avoid pruning bigleaf hydrangeas altogether. Any dead wood can be pruned out in early spring, once the new growth has begun to emerge and its clear where any winter damage occurred. However, hydrangeas should not be trimmed or pruned regularly. If plants do not flower reliably, move them to a more protected spot in your yard; early spring is an excellent time to do that.
Notes on flower color: The flowers of bigleaf hydrangeas can vary from pink to purple to blue, depending on soil chemistry. You must have both an acidic soil and the presence of aluminum (a naturally occurring soil element) in order for blue/purple color to develop. Get a soil test from your local Cooperative Extension before applying any color change treatment to be certain that it will be effective.

Not blooming

I just purchased this season and only 1 of the 3 bloomed. Need help. Also all my bee balm died. I’ve had success with other things I’ve purchased. So not sure what to do to resolve this issue. Even pulled out bee balm in put in a pot to try and save them

We're sorry you're having trouble with your plants! It’s surprisingly normal for newly transplanted plants to appear like they aren’t growing. That’s because most of the growth occurs below ground in their first year as they allocate more energy to root development. Once your plant is established, it will start investing more in shoot and flower development. To learn more about how plants “sleep, creep, and leap”, read our FAQ here: https://bit.ly/FAQ-plant-growth. Our team of horticulture experts would love to take a closer look. Please contact claims@greatgardenplants.com with your order number and photos of the plants, and we would be more than happy to assist you! We look forward to helping! https://bit.ly/ggp-guarantee
