Spring Container Planting & Spring Daffodils, Tulips & Oak Leaf Hydrangeas

Today we'll plant up my containers by the front door with some cheery Spring plants. Then we'll take a walk around the garden and look at my Daffodils, Tulips & Oak Leaf Hydrangeas.

I picked up two 1 gallon oak leaf hydrangeas at red barn this past Tuesday! They were from last year so they were half off. 👌 it looked like they had 6 or 8 more left.

WooHoo! Thanks so much! I'm heading there right now!!

Two seasons… Right! I called them “Summer, and almost Summer”! 😊

Love that!

Beautiful containers, and the tulips look great! I love spring, it’s so exciting. I planted bearded iris in the fall but haven’t seen any sign of buds yet, I hope I get a few. And my oaklead ruby slippers is a 3 inch stick! 😬

So happy things are coming up for you! Your bearded Iris will do great! They don't require any babying!! Just patience! I hope your Ruby Slipper hygrangea does well! I would love to see pictures when it blooms!

How much sun does your oak leaf hydrangea want? I have had one for close to 10 years planted in mostly shade. I don't get much in the way of flowers though. I would like to plant more but wondering if they should be planted in a more sunny spot.

Not much. They prefer morning sun and afternoon shade.
