What planting distance should be maintained for hydrangeas?
In hydrangea hedges enchant with their abundance of flowers the garden. Both the farm hydrangeas and the panicle hydrangeas are well suited to this form of landscaping. When planting the hedge, observe the planting distance so that the hydrangea shrubs can develop sufficiently.
These distances between the plants must be observed
In farmer hydrangeas, whose stature height is between one and two meters, the individual planting holes must be dug with a minimum distance of fifty centimeters. Panicle hydrangeas grow up to two meters high and therefore require a greater distance to the neighboring plant. The planting distance should not be less than one hundred centimeters.
Distance to other garden plants
So that the hydrangea does not press too much adjacent plants, you should keep a planting distance of eighty centimeters to shrubs and perennials. Also observe the minimum distance to the property boundary prescribed by the state ordinance.
