FIRE ISLAND HYDRANGEA 5gal

Make a bold statement in your garden with the 'Fire Island' Hydrangea. This Bigleaf Hydrangea is a standout, offering a dynamic and long-lasting parade of color. Its sturdy, upright stems hold mophead blooms that emerge a clean white, then mature to a beautiful white with a rosy-red edge before finally blushing to a deep pink. The dark green, leathery foliage adds to the drama, taking on a maroon cast in spring and fall. 'Fire Island' is a compact variety, growing to about 4 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for a vibrant container, a stunning focal point, or a lively hedge. This hydrangea performs well in USDA zones 7 and 8. Give it a location with morning sun and some afternoon shade to protect it from the harshest heat of the day. It is also known to be animal resistant, helping to keep your display looking pristine.

To ensure your 'Fire Island' thrives, prepare a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball. Blend the native soil with Watters Premium Mulch to improve moisture retention and provide essential nutrients. After planting, sprinkle Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food around the base. This slow-release, local formula with cottonseed meal and bird guano will nourish your plant, promoting strong roots and abundant, long-lasting flowers. Water deeply to help your new hydrangea settle in.
