Hydrangea Seeds for Planting - Mixed Color Hydrangea Macrophylla Giant Snowball Shrub

You can start seeds in a variety of containers, as long as they are at least 2-3 inches deep and have drainage holes. Choose a well-draining soil mix that is rich in organic matter. Hydrangeas prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil, and it's important to ensure the soil is loose and fertile to support healthy root development.

After the stratification period, sow the seeds on the surface of pre-moistened soil. Lightly press them into the soil without covering them completely, and maintain the recommended spacing between the seeds. Hydrangea seeds require light for germination, so they should not be buried.

Place the trays or pots in a location that receives bright, indirect light, and maintain a consistent temperature of around 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as overwatering can lead to the rotting of the seeds. Use a spray bottle or misting technique to water gently and prevent dislodging the seeds.

To ensure successful seed starting, it's essential to choose the right container, soil mix, and environmental conditions. Hydrangeas prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil, and the soil should be loose and fertile to support healthy root development. Proper moisture management is also crucial, as overwatering can lead to the rotting of the seeds.

By following these guidelines, you can create the ideal conditions for your hydrangea seeds to germinate and thrive. Remember to monitor the soil moisture, temperature, and lighting regularly, and adjust as needed to provide the best possible environment for your seedlings to grow.
