Can you make a hedge with hydrangeas?
Because of their bush-like growth pattern and relatively tall growth, hydrangeas make a suitable choice for a hedge. Not to mention that the colorful blooms will add a certain element of pizzazz to your hedge.
What is the best hydrangea for a hedge?
There are two wonderful varieties of panicle hydrangeas (cone-shaped blooms) that reach 6'-8' x 6'-8' wide, making them ideal for a privacy hedge. Limelight hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight') has green blooms on old wood that fade to pink and is adaptable to various soil types.
How do you space a hydrangea hedge?
Close spacing means that the entire length and width of the hedge grows and prospers as one organism. The individual plants intertwine, and become one. I have never seen a hydrangea hedge that resented this spacing. A spacing at 6 feet is an option.
How far apart should you plant Hydrangea shrubs?
Some varieties are more tolerant of full sun. Space hydrangeas anywhere from 3 to 10 feet apart, depending on type.

Plant Your Hydrangeas
