watering
Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Monrey' BUTTONS 'N' BOWS) should be watered when the soil feels dry to the touch, usually every 7 to 10 days in the summer and every 10 to 14 days in the winter. Make sure to water deeply, saturating the soil to a depth of 12–24 inches and allowing the water to spread outwards before adding more. Avoid overwatering by feeling the soil before each watering and adjusting your frequency as needed.
sunlight
Bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Monrey' BUTTONS 'N' BOWS) prefers 6-8 hours of sunlight per day for best flowering and growth. When growing in direct sunlight, it is best to provide morning or late afternoon sun, and avoid the harsher midday sun. Any intense heat or dryness should also be avoided. During warmer months, some shade in the afternoon can be beneficial for bigleaf hydrangeas.
pruning
For optimum health and the best blooms, Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Monrey' BUTTONS 'N' BOWS) should be pruned in early spring, just after the threat of frost has passed. Remove any dead or diseased branches, and then prune approximately 1-third of the older, less productive stems of the shrub to the ground. Pinching the remaining stems back by 1-third will encourage a more compact form and higher levels of flowering.
