I've had the joy of growing Moonrock hydrangeas in my garden, and they truly are stunning with their cone-shaped clusters transitioning from creamy white to lime, and then to shades of pink. In terms of care, they are quite similar to other panicle hydrangeas. They thrive well in full sun to partial shade, and while they're relatively low maintenance, they do appreciate a well-drained soil that's enriched with organic matter.
These hydrangeas are pretty adaptable to different soil types, but for optimal blooms, slightly acidic to neutral pH conditions are ideal. As for climate adaptability, Moonrock hydrangeas are quite hardy, managing well in both warm and cooler regions, though they appreciate some afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent leaf scorch.
One tip I'd share is to water them deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth, especially during their first few years. Pruning in late winter or early spring can also help encourage more vigorous growth and bloom production.
For those in colder zones, it's worth considering a layer of mulch to help protect the roots. If you're into hydrangeas, I'd also recommend trying out the 'Limelight' variety, which has similar care requirements but offers slightly different bloom hues.
I'm happy to dive deeper into any specific aspect if you have more questions!
