Easter Hydrangeas: Bright blooms to brighten up your spring!

These flowering shrubs, also known as bigleaf hydrangeas (macrophylla), are distinguished by their large, ball-shaped inflorescences. Available in flowering pots, they brighten up your home with their bright and cheerful colors: blue, pink, or purple.

Easy to care for and offering long-lasting blooms, Easter hydrangeas are an ideal plant for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Care tips:

  • Place your hydrangea in a sunny spot in the morning and shady in the afternoon.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
  • Apply a hydrangea fertilizer once a month during the flowering period.
  • Prune dead flowers as they go to encourage regrowth.
