In the world of gardening, few plants are as popular and dependable as the PeeGee Hydrangea. Known scientifically as Hydrangea paniculata 'grandiflora', these shrubs can grow up to 15 feet tall, making them suitable for use as hedges and against walls or fences.
PeeGee Hydrangeas are a common sight in home landscapes, thanks to their large blooms. Each growing season, they produce large white panicles of flowers, which often show a pink blush as they age.
But growing these beautiful plants isn't just about planting them and waiting for them to bloom. Here are some essential tips to help you nurture your PeeGee Hydrangeas:

- Location: When planning to grow PeeGee Hydrangeas, it's important to consider if the proposed location can accommodate their future size. These shrubs benefit from partial shade, especially during the hottest portions of the afternoon. Regions with warm temperate climates, well-drained fertile soils, and adequate water resources, such as parts of the southeastern United States or similar climates, are recommended for cultivating PeeGee Hydrangeas.
- Soil: PeeGee Hydrangeas are adaptable to various soil types, making them easy to grow in many different environments.
