My favorite Gardner. I bought those exact hydrangeas today. Came home and hopped on this channel to see what I can find. So happy I was lucky to find a video. 😊

Great advice… I like the back scratching on the plant. Makes sense

Just found your channel. I have never heard that we need to chop of the flowers before planting them! I

Thanks for explaining why my hydrangea recommended me to cut off the blooms. It is hard to make yourself cut off something so beautiful and throw it away.

Hi Devin, I love your videos. You give genuine and easy to follow language and have a great personality. A question, Can I plant and sustain a healthy Hydrangea in a pot? I live in Delaware, and we generally have mild winters, but I am installing a shed with large windows to use as a sort of winter greenhouse. Any advice? Thanks for all the wonderful and informative education.

I love hydrangeas and roses. That's what I have in my yard along with your small lilac bush I bought from you on QVC last year. It's in a container on my back porch. Would love me videos on these plants please. Thanks!🦋🌻🌻🦋✌

I just bought a beautiful blue one yesterday. I live in Ontario Canada. Should I just water it, and plant in the Fall? It's quite hot here in Kingston, Ontario Canada.

I'm a new subscriber and new to hydrangeas. I really love your channel! Great advice!! I live in the zone 7a, and I just planted a big leaf hydrangea first week in June. The hydrangea I got from the nursery already has lots of blooms. It is so beautiful!! I read one of your comments saying that one would need to water the hydrangea more often if blooms are not cut off at the early stage of planting. Since I planted it facing the south side of the house, it gets hot in the afternoon between 1:00 and 4:00. I water the plant early in the morning and early evening. Should I water one more time in the afternoon, say 3ish to help with the heat and not cutting off the blooms? Thanks!

Nice video. I saw you planted in the shade but still have some sun. In the video, was that morning sun or afternoon sun?

Hi, Just found your channel. Thank you so much for very informative video❤️Macrophylla Hydrangeas where can be planted full sun or shade?

Love these plants, we are planning to put in a few this year. Was wondering if you've ever done Texas Sage. We saw them at our local home depot and would love to plant them but we are a bit confused if they will survive.

The worker there said they are hardy to zone 4 which we are in Minnesota but research I get some say only zone 8 and some say zone 4.

Nice flowers . I’m looking for information on a Blue Cassel m. Hydrangea.

I planted a Mathilda Gutges in a container last year and it did fine, but the blooms went from purplish to green after a few months...is that normal? It didn't seem to be end of season for the plant, but the blooms definitely went green. I'm just now seeing some buds/new growth starting now that we have officially started spring so I'm curious to see what it looks like.

I am about to plant flowers for the first time in my garden and have watched many videos. I have hydrangea macrophyllas and was wondering if o plant them in June do I need to cut all the flowers off or is this a suggestion for earlier months only?

[marilyncampbell]

It’s late May here in NB, Canada and I have two macrophyla and I need to move them. Is it too late? One has a leaf or two, the other has more leaves. I pruned them hard😩. I’m worried 😢.
