Nikko Blue hydrangeas produce large, bulbous pink and dark blue flowers that bloom in June through September. Nikko Blue hydrangeas are very popular plants because of their long blooming season, relatively low maintenance and rapid growth. Caring for Nikko Blue hydrangeas is a simple process that does not require specialized gardening or horticulture skills.
Things You'll Need
Watering can
Water
Mulch (optional)
Gardening gloves
Pruning shears
Trash bag
Remove any dead, rotting leaves or decaying flower bulbs from your Nikko Blue hydrangea. Dispose of dead, rotting leaves and flowers into a trash bag or compost bin.
Use your pruning shears to remove excess growth, as Nikko Blue hydrangeas are rapid-growing plants that require cutting back in order to prevent crowding or overgrowth. Your Nikko Blue hydrangea should always be spaced 2 feet from other plants in your garden.
Fill a watering can with room-temperature water.
Shower your Nikko Blue hydrangea with water regularly (twice per week). When watering, ensure that the water is evenly distributed through the plant.
Protect your plant from frost when the temperature dips below 40 degrees. Place plastic bags around the base of your Nikko Blue hydrangea to protect the roots from winter frost.
Tips & Warnings
Prevent overcrowding of your Nikko Blue hydrangea by pruning during late spring and summer, when the blooms are at their fullest.
