How often should I water my hydrangeas?

I know they need a lot of water. Someone told me they should be watered twice daily, which seems excessive and time-consuming.

Any ideas?

You can soak them really good just once a day but you should put mulch around them to hold the moisture also I have a large bucket next to them I poked a few very small holes in the bottom fill it up and it will water slowly that way.
Reply:it all depends on where you live. twice a day is way too much, maybe they meant twice a week.



if you live in a dry area then every other day should be fine.



when i lived in georgia, where the ground is rich and holds moisture, i only watered mine about once a week and they were huge.



you can also go online and just type in how to care for hydrangeas and you will get helpful sites.



good luck.
Reply:the soil should be constantly moist...I have no idea what climate you live in so it's hard to guess how much water you need to give them.
Reply:watering twice daily is good try mulching around base of plants to retain moisture and dig in compost with water retaining granules to keep a higher level of moisture around base of shrub
Reply:depends on the soil, just keep them moist,mulch is great,some mulch have bugs so buy from a reputable dealer,try water at dusk to avoid evaporation from the hot sun. good luck and happy gardening, and don't forget to talk to your flowers they need love too :)
Reply:once the plant has established itself it should not require any more than the equivalent of one inch of water per week, that can be obtained in my area. new England by deep root watering once or twice a week, too much water is as bad as too little. just remember that if it rains or showers for a day that usually is only equal to a 1/4 to 1/2 an inch at most. mulching helps retain moisture just keep it away from the stems as it can cause rotting . hydrangeas don't require allot of water once established..blanco;
