How to Start
- Fill seed trays or small pots with a clean, fine-textured, well-draining seed-starting mix.
- Surface sow the seeds and press them gently into the growing medium.
- Do not bury deeply, as hydrangea seeds are very small and benefit from light during germination.
- Mist gently and keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Keep the trays in a bright location with indirect light and moderate warmth.
- Germination may take several weeks, so maintain steady moisture and avoid disturbing the seeds.
- Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them carefully into individual pots.
Set expectations: Hydrangeas grown from seed can vary naturally in flower size, color, growth habit, and other characteristics. Seed-grown plants may not come completely true to a named cultivar, so exact Pee Gee characteristics cannot be guaranteed for every seedling. Flowering from seed can also take several years.
