I love hydrangeas too. I have a small back yard and I have one planted in a container also. Time to get a few more. Great video!

[@its_eVa_ief1980]

Yes do! They beautiful when they bloom

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

@traci3235, I have two big beautiful ones with large dark green leaves. I'm scared to get more.... I don't want to kill them . 😁🤩

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

I'm still learning . I don't know anything about zones. Once I got a few Hydrangeas , hearing about zones is the first I've heard. I love a challenge. Thanks for sharing .

[@GardenObsessions]

Knowing your gardening zone will help you grow plants that will do well in your area. We always try to get plants that are two zones lower than our zone so they can go through rough winters. Shopping in local garden centers is great because they have the plants that thrive in your zone. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

Hi Ambrose & Angie. I discovered hydrangeas can take root pruning well so I don’t have to keep upsizing the containers they’re in. My limelight’s grew 4’ tall planted in a huge 22” pot & happily been in there for 3 yrs. The multiple stem hydrangeas like the macrophila can easily be split & planted. The panicles can be split & tree formed in pots or ground. With Hydrangeas it’s a world of opportunities!😊

[@nataliecarmolli7007]

Wonderful job! Love seeing these beauties getting potted up to add to your gorgeous gardens!

Love hydrangeas as much as you both do. I live in a Zone 3 location in Canada so unfortunately cannot grow many of the varieties you grow in your Zone 7a in Virginia but I can thoroughly virtually enjoy all the gorgeous varieties you both grow in your lovely gardens! I have never commented before on your videos but have been enjoying them for about 2 years now. Keep up the good work you two! ☺🤗

Hi Angie & Ambose. Looking forward to seeing these in bloom. Last summer I planted 3 strawberry sunday hydrangeas in my yard. One thrived and two struggled along. I'm hoping they do better this summer. Last week, I hit up 3 Home Depots to buy certain matching containers to line up around the perimeter of my yard. I did get a bag of Biotone but I still need soil. Your container plantings have me so excited for this growing season. Thanks for the videos & inspiration.

[@GardenObsessions]

Hello! Strawberry sunday hydrangeas are so beautiful!!! 💚 I think they will do wonderful this year for you. They have had time to establish. Oh my yes the Lowe’s containers! Us too we have been headed back like every day for containers lol. They have really nice ones. Sounds like you are having a lot of gardening fun!!! Enjoy! 🙏💐💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@tinayclu2668]

Thanks for the videos ❤️ I've trying to look for how to plant my Endless summer original and Tuff stuff ah-ha mountain hydrandeas I got this summer! This video has taught me a lot 😊 Especially I don't have a garden to plant these into the grounds. Really appreciate your video showing information about planting into the pots and mentioned that it's best to do so during Fall or spring seasons! Thank you!🙏

[@GardenObsessions]

Hello! Yes I would definitely enjoy them in flower now and wait till fall or spring to plant. If you can do it this fall that way they establish and you can enjoy them next year. The bigger the pot the better! Enjoy! 🙏💐💚

I'm madly in love with hydrangeas but I live in zone 9b so it gets hot here. I'm so tempted to try oakleaf hydrangea.

[@GardenObsessions]

Hello! I definitely would try Oakleaf hydrangea for your zone 9b. They are my favorite of all hydrangeas. They give so much all year long. Not only do they bloom beautifully but the give fall interest their leaves turn into beautiful autumn colors. The branches in winter are so beautiful as well and the are the first ones to come into bloom from all hydrangea. They grow pretty fast to and some have scented blooms. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

I was shocked when I heard you say you’re in zone 7B. I’m in zone 7A in my part of northern VA. I had to look up the growing zone for your area. It’s wild how the grow zones are not lateral/horizontal across topography, but varies greatly even in the same county! You basically live in the tropics compared to my zone. 😂😂

[@fineartlifestyling]

What size (gallons) is the blue jangles hydrangea in? I would like to know what’s the main difference between the larger containers sold at the nurseries and the smaller ones. Aside from the obvious that they are larger, do they get to maturity a little faster and grow faster. Is it worth the money to upgrade to a larger container. I have seen 7 gallon and 10 gallon containers of hydrangeas. Thanks guys ❤

[@ronaprescott4007]

If placing the plant in the ground, would you place mulch at the roots?

[@mariap6382]

Hello hydrangea lovers. I wish my hydrangea collection was as extensive as yours! I actually have one that I planted 2 months ago but is not doing too well. I bought a Invincibelle spirit II I planted it in full sun until 3 pm and then it goes in shade as sun moves behind the house. I am in 7b Raleigh NC. Used biotone when planted it and water it every other day. It's leaves are turning yellow and not seen much leave put out. I don't want to loose it so I'm kind of worried about it and want to take some proactive steps. Can you help me out with suggestions., Should I fertilize it and what do you recommend? Thank you!

[@mystrength2009]

hi folks. Love you guys. Hey do Japanese Beatles like hydrangeas? I'm hunting them all the time around my garden, practically stumping on them, they make me so mad, that's when I don't have my soapy water can handy. lol.

[@GardenObsessions]

Hello! 💚 Yes Japanese beetles love hydrangea blooms anything sweet they will attack. They will even munch on the leaves. I’ve been out doing the same hunting them down! Lol Hopefully it passes soon and they let one enjoy the pretty blooms. 🤗💐💚

[@101ccar]

🤔 Question: Do you sometimes cut the hydrangea bulbs and place them in your home? If so, when in the season do you prune them? 🤔

[@GardenObsessions]

Yes I love bringing hydrangea flowers indoors! I actually brought some panicle hydrangea not long ago to enjoy. I usually like to wait for any type of hydrangea flowers to start feeling like paper so they can hold up nicely And dry. If you do bring them in sooner make sure always to cut them in the mornings and immediately put them in water as you are cutting them. Bring them in and cut stem again and I like to make slids all along the stem so it takes up water. Then I place in a cool area indoors. 💚

[@tarynraiedw]

What do you do with the hydrangeas in the winter time?

[@GardenObsessions]

The hydrangeas in our zone are very Hardy. We don’t do much to them as they will do just fine. In colder temperatures they can be covered with burlap or if in containers be brought into a garage.

[@michelleprince3504]

First time watching you guys 👍🏾😊 quick question I live in new England and just bought me some hydrangeas can they survive the winter?

[@layersoflaurel]

Could you please share the name of the green leafy plant in the silver container behind Angie? It's featured when you are both done with your planting at roughly 16:00 minutes in. Thank you very much!

[@GardenObsessions]

Hello! That is called Lemony Lace elderberry in spring it flowers before it leaves out a beautiful disc white flower. This plant is hardy zones 3a-7b it’s part sun to sun. In hotter climates it does need protection from the hottest time of day or it will scorch. We also have e another called Black Lace elderberry blooms in pink. Both grow a good size and easy to trim back I love it because of our small space. 💚💚💚💚💚💚 -Angie

[@angelaatianasarector6419]

Nice work. How will you overwinter the plants in containers?

[@GardenObsessions]

It does not get too cold here and if it does it doesn’t last very long. In the case that it does we use extra mulch and wrap burlap over them.

[@spinifexk2158]

I was waiting to see what type of mulch did you use. Did I miss it? So many choices out there, what type of mulch would you recommend or it doesn’t matter?

[@GardenObsessions]

Pine bark mulch with no color or dyes. This helps to retain water in the container as well as drying it to fast in top.💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@deyajacuinde]

I have a question I fertilized my hydrangeas in spring and fall with espoma holly tone , but what food do I feed them in the summer?

[@GardenObsessions]

Hydrangeas only need fertilizer once a season preferably in early spring. Use a slow release fertilizer as too much fertilizer can result in more foliage than blooms. We use Espoma due to its slow release properties. I hope this answers your question.💚💚💚💚💚💚

I bought a hydrangea this weekend and it’s already wilting. What do I do?!!

[@GardenObsessions]

What zone are you in and what type of hydrangea? And did you just planted? Hydrangea needs alot of water if it’s already hot in your area. If newly planted it can be in shock and needs some time to establish. When planting make sure to give Biotone so it can help it establish.

[@_VICK_]

@@GardenObsessions it’s Annabelle. No i still have it in the container. I moved it to the sun (it was in shade earlier) and watered. I’m crossing my fingers it perks back up!!! I hadn’t watered since this weekend bc I was scared id overwater.

[@GardenObsessions]

@@_VICK_ Plants dry really fast in containers and hydrangea needs to be kept moist. It sounds like it just needs water. If you live in a hot gardening zone morning sun is best or in an area that gets dappled light through the day would be good. To much hot sun can make it wilt. Early spring is a great time to plant hydrangea it’s still cool abd it’s less likely to go into shock. Enjoy your beauty! Happy gardening!

You dont tease your roots before you plant??

[@GardenObsessions]

With hydrangeas we don’t normally tease the roots as they are shallow rooted feeders. They were not root bound so there is really no need to do so. If they were going in the ground more than likely we would have teased them if they were very root bound. The biotone used will ensure that they take in as much nutrients and thrive.💚💚💚💚💚💚
