Espoma Rose Tone is recommended by Proven Winners for hydrangeas, too. Great information. Thank you.

Hi thank you for the video🌸 I live in Türkiye and i bought a strawberry vanille back in April and planted in my garden. It’s about 17 inch so very young. It was very hard to find one here in my city so i really want it to be healthy and survive but i have zero experience. I havent give any fertilizer to the plant yet. Is it too late now to give any fetilizer since its July or should i do it anyways. Also some of the leaves look a little bit pale almost yellow in the center. If you have any advice for me that would be great. Thank you

I have a recent purchase of a Fire Light hydrangea. I brought it home about two weeks ago and left it in the nursery pot, but put it under an umbrella on my patio to protect from wind, rain and hot hot sun. It is doing so good I hate to even think of putting it into a forever container or move from the spot that it clearly loves. What should I do? How long can it stay in the nursery pot? Thanks very much, oh I'm in zone 6 Kentucky.

Can I do a little pruning on a newly planted Incrediball ? Will this encourageblooms this summer?

Hi Noelle. I noticed on my Limelight which are grown in containers, the leaves tend to yellow & drop off. Do you know why it’s doing this & what I need to do to prevent this? Thank you

I wish these beautiful Panicle Hydrangeas were more readily available and more popular in Australia.
Do you think they can tolerate out very hot summers on the east coast of Australia?
Great info.

Will they thrive fine and bloom if no pruning is done ? I have small space I am planning to layer and keep hydrangea at a height in a large pot, so reaching then to prune once grown will be difficult . Let me know your input .
