This is because the stems sprout roots easily which you can insert into compost and each one will become a new hydrangea plant. #plantpropagation #growhydrangeas | Simon Akeroyd Garden Writer | Green Day · Wake Me up When September Ends

Proven Winners ColorChoice Flowering Shrubs Limelight Hydrangea: 6-8 ft tall, late bloomer, HUGE blooms, does have a tendency flop if not pruned correctly. First Editions Shrubs & Trees Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea: 6-7 ft tall, midsummer bloomer, HUGE blooms that turn pink later in the season. proven Winners limelight prime hydrangea: 4-5 ft tall, stronger stems with blooms that are a bit more open vs limelight (in my garden). Blooms about a month earlier than limelight — long flowering season@pwcolorchoice Pinky Winky Hydrangea: 4-5 ft tall, earlier maybe even earliest panicle hydrangea bloomer, HUGE blooms that are more open shaped, gorgeous pink ombre color. Very strong stems. @bloomables sweet starlight hydrangea: compact 4’ tall bloomer with huge flowers and strong stems. Flowers shade to a light pink in Atlanta. Little lime hydrangea: 3-5 ft tall, compact bloomer with very strong stems. My blooms don’t seem to fade pink here in Atlanta — but it probably would in climates that don’t suck as much in the summer.Commonly asked hydrangea questions: yes, deer think they are delicious. Yes, they are toxic to dogs — no, my dog has never tried to eat them.Hope that helps! #hydrangeaseasom #hydrangeatips #gardening #zone8a #gardentips #southerngarden #atlanta #landscapedesign #landscapetips | Everyday Gardening Tips | Everyday Gardening Tips · Original audio

They’re great for more temperate climates but cold freezes can kill the buds and then they just won’t bloom. Just managing expectations over here. (Other factors for poor performance are not enough water or light, and poor soil which is not acidic enough….they’re divas!)Yeah, the USA recently updated their hardiness zone maps but I’m not getting too excited about that, personally. Climate change includes wild swings in temperatures so those of us in cold climates could easily continue to be very disappointed with how these plants perform. Like I said, oakleaf hydrangeas, arborescens (“smooth” hydrangeas), or panicle hydrangeas like limelights, quickfire or bobos, will all be more reliable. Arborescens and oakleaf hydrangeas are also native to the U.S. so that’s an additional bonus. Just saying.And remember for the big leaf and oakleaf types not to cut down your stems with buds on them at the end of the season or in the spring because those buds result in next year’s flowers!Video done by my client Angela in her yard.

1.1M views · 102K reactions | People come from all over the country to see these hydrangeas. I got the low down from the @chathambarsinn head gardener on how to achieve this beauty in our own gardens. Here are Pam @tolmanvasques seven tips for the perfect hydrangea, comment TIPS for the fertilizer and trimmers her team uses . 1. Use Carbon Pro and a pinch of soil moist every spring to encourage exponential growth and keep the ground moist. 2. Trim your old wood hydrangeas just after blooms are spent and new wood in late winter. Pam suggested electric clippers. 3. Amend your soil for optimal color. For blue, use soil acidifier, for pink use garden lime. 4. Water at the root, not from above so you don’t burn the leaves. 5. Never trim more than 30% of an old wood hydrangea and 1/2 of a new wood. 6. Cluster plantings by type to get maximum effect. 7. Plant/transplant in the spring or fall, not during the peak of the heat. Water daily when transplanting for 2 weeks. | Hillary \\ Tello and Rose | Helen Forrest · Busy as a Bee

The head gardener at Chatham Bar’s Inn taught me that the key to a well shaped, non leggy hydrangea lies in the trimming. - For old wood hydrangeas (anything not a panicle) you need to trim three leaf nodes down with a clean cut, just above that third leaf set (above next years bloom), after they have browned. - For new wood hydrangeas (limelights, panicles), you need to cut them up to 1/2 the bush size back in the late winter. | Hillary \\ Tello and Rose | Slomow · Cravings
