The Hydrangea Hedge Update July 2024

I don't think I have done any updates on the Hydrangea Hedge yet this year. We planted that hedge in June of last year and look how far it has come already!

[@annanagai3166]

I’ve been watching you for a few years now. Love soaking in your knowledge, and seeing the beatiful planting and green house tours.

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for following us through the years

[@deborahrichardson4860]

Hi Heidi, just found you this summer. I'm in London Ontario 6b. Love your hydrangeas. I planted to two limelight's earlier this year for future privacy. My endless summer are reaching 5'. Love them all. Thank you.

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for watching from CAN.

[@normabadillo3235]

Wow,!!!!Absolutely beautiful!!!!. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you💓

[@jennifernewman240]

Hi Heidi. I have been following for 5 or 6 years. This past May I finally got to visit in person which was a bucket list wish. After watching so long I think you’ve really covered all topics. When I first started watching, you were talking about planting parties. I wish that was something available on this opposite side of Michigan. It’s been fun watching your garden center grow throughout the years and dealing with challenges as they come along. I appreciate the honest feedback on how plants perform. Thanks for the great content!

[@gardencrossings]

I am so glad you got to visit! I hope you had a good time in the gardens and garden center.

[@elizabethpodges9279]

Hi Heidi! I’ve been watching since 2020. I especially love when you show planting combinations. Thanks for all the great info!

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for watching! And for the feedback. More planter ideas coming for this fall.

[@FrediOlson]

Hi Heidi, I think I've been watching for 3-4 years now. Time flies. I love when you profile the plants. I'm most interested in how you companion plant. I'm terrible at design and think of myself more as a plant collector. That can make for a very busy looking planting. But, I still have fun! Thanks a bunch!

[@gardencrossings]

Interesting. We really don't pay a ton of attention to companion planting. If they look good and their heights work out they go together. We don't formally plant.

[@FrediOlson]

@@gardencrossings That is funny! I always think that you do, but now I know differently. You have instilled a new confidence in me that I should quit worrying about companion planting and just plant what I like (as long as the conditions meet the plant requirements) Thank so much!

[@wendyrossman3756]

Found your channel this spring when I got the Proven Winners idea catalog. * question do you fertilize your hydrangeas mid season? If so with what. Thanks for inspiring me to try new things.

[@kristaself126]

Another awesome video, Heidi. Love all the hydrangeas.

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks so much!

[@suemerryman1078]

Started watching since the beginning. Living in Holland, next door, I love seeing which plants grow best in our area! Keepp up the great videos.

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for watching. Hope to meet you in the garden center.

[@doreen9838]

Will sedum lemon coral grow in my zone 6 is it an annual or perennial? Your garden is beautiful!!!

[@gardencrossings]

It will be an annual in zone 6

[@helens_garden_life]

I have been following you for about 2 years. I am in Zone 5 here. I planted several hydrangeas such as Fire light and Vanilla strawberry and really enjoy the color change. Thank you.

[@gardencrossings]

Firelight is a fav of mine i my backyard as well

[@KarenH103]

Hi Heidi! I've probably been following you about a year. The garden is absolutely stunning! I have several of those you mentioned,and I love them. ❤️

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for following!

[@bonniec.5296]

Hi Heidi! I’ve been watching since 2019 and I’m a novice gardener in 4b Wisconsin. I have NO idea what I’m doing and your videos help me greatly with pairings, bed ideas, and northern climate appropriate planting. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for the 5 years you have been watching. I love sharing great plants and gardening tips

[@jjjohnston545]

Heidi, I’ve been watching your channel for a few years. Love the hydrangea hedge. Now I might go and get a puffer fish hydrangea tomorrow

[@gardencrossings]

You will love Puffer Fish❤

[@tamararobinson5775]

I just started this year, and I love everything.

[@gardencrossings]

hanks for watching💐

[@Xyzz178]

6 years following. Just went back and watched a video from maybe 4 years ago to know the mature size of let’s dance Ariba and tuff stuff ah ah hydrangeas. 👍Your instructions were very helpful.

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@suzyQin82]

Hey there, Heidi. I’ve been following you for a couple of years. I remember you planting up this space. It turned out to be quite the stunner. I particularly love the choice of plants and the peaceful color palette…they work so nicely together…simple but eye catching. I garden in North Georgia Zone 8a and find your knowledge of plants invaluable which in turn help me to make the right selections for my space. I’ve also placed and received several plant orders from Garden Crossings for hard to find annuals and perennials in my area and have been thoroughly pleased. Love your channel!

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for letting us be a part of your garden.

[@alexandraemanuel2968]

Hi Heidi, thank you so much for sharing wow those hydrangeas are getting water once or twice a week they look fantastic

[@gardencrossings]

Yes they do, thank you

[@lauras5312]

the puffer fish 😍😍😍

[@gardencrossings]

It is a beauty

[@staceyallard2692]

Hi Heidi, I believe this is year 3 of following Garden Crossings. Still have t made to the store yet but I am hoping to get there before the end of this season! I’m southwest Michigan & you all are on my list of places to go! I have ordered from the store but haven’t been in person yet. The hedge is looking great, btw! I remember Rod and the boys planted that last year and your one son was working on his vegetable garden also on that day if I remember correctly. Thank you for the update! 😊♥️

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for following along

[@shellyhansen772]

Thanks for the helpful video! The combination there is beautiful! We're moving soon and will be updating the existing landscape. Right now I have the LIttle Quick Fire (my husband's favorite), and Bobo (three in front of our porch). I was thinking Bobo, or Puffer Fish to plant in front of our new porch so it was so helpful to see them after a year! I'm thinking the Little Lime Punch now! I actually have quite a few different hydrangeas which are all doing well! Everyone in your store is so helpful and knowledgeable! I've been watching your channel for a couple years.

[@gardencrossings]

I will let the team know. Thanks for stopping in

[@deeleo2495]

This video was very informative. I've been watching since spring of this year. I'm in Georgia, zone 8a and have been adding panicle hydrangeas to my landscape. I have little limes, little lime punches and limelight prime. The little lime punches are so awesome with their compact growth habit. Kind of wishing I had gone with them instead of the little limes. I will be adding one more as a focal piece to another bed soon and was deciding between the little lime punch or the little quickfire. I really am leaning towards the little quickfire just because it will be a different look than the other ones I currently have in my yard. Those sedums are gorgeous! I love watching the garden tours so we can see how plants progress throughout the summer. I love watching videos with ideas for what plants to plants together that compliment each other as well. Thanks for all of the awesome videos! Love your channel!

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for the kind words and for watching.

[@kathleendolinar4749]

I have been watching you ever since I met you at the Grand Garden Show on Macinac Island. Learned a lot from your channel

[@gardencrossings]

That was such an amazing show with so many great people. Thanks for watching.

[@dianehatley691]

Heidi I think I have been following you for 4 years. I have ordered plants from Garden Crossing at least the last 3 years and they always arrive in beautiful condition. I have learned so much from watching your channel, thanks for all the information.🌸

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for sharing we appreciate your letting us be a part of your garden.

[@patriciacampbell2426]

Hi Heidi, Wattch your channel daily with my morning coffee. Found your channel about 4 years ago and thoroughly enjoy all the information you provide. I live in SE MN zone 4b. Have also ordered plants from your online site for plants I have not been able to find in my area. We moved, built a new home & started totally from scratch building a new yard. Thanks for all the valuable information. Keep those videos coming! I'll definitely be there to watch & apply that valuable information. ❤😊

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for letting us be a part of your garden!

[@judyalley1036]

Hi Heidi, I found your channel last summer and I’m enjoying seeing all your videos. Your yard is beautiful! I’m live in Virginia Zone 7 B.

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for walking through the gardens with me.

[@paulamaher1633]

I've been following for 2 years and have ordered A LOT of annuals from the website which have all performed beautifully. Iowa zone 5b

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for letting us be a part of your garden

[@Chefabs911]

I found your channel about a year ago. Love it as we have a lot of the same weather here in New Hampshire

[@gardencrossings]

Welcome aboard! 🌼 I am guessing this helps you with planting decisions.

[@mavisjones4750]

Hi Heidi. I've been following you for about 3 years.

[@gardencrossings]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jennifergreene8891]

Hi Heidi 👋 following you since Janeys video 😊 I love when you give descriptions, name, zone, preferences etc. I think it is very helpful since I garden in zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast. Thank you 🙏

[@gardencrossings]

Janey is great! Thanks for following along.

[@marielyencasa]

Hi Heidi, I found you 2 years ago! I love your tours, your butterfly project, when you guys make the container combinations… well basically, all your content 😂. I’m in zone 9 in Houston (hot and humid) trying for first time one of your limelight hydrangeas. So far so good 🤞🏻

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for the feedback. You are going to love Limelight.

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Heidi 🌺 The hedge of the hydrangeas with sedum lemon coral look stunning . I have been watching you for two years and all your videos are interesting and I love them all . Have a fantastic day . 🌺🌻🌺

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for the feedback and for watching and commenting on every video :)

[@TJacobs1148]

I've been following you for 4 years now. I enjoy seeing the different plants in the garden. I've learned so many helpful tips from you (and Rod's) experience and knowledge on the plants versus deer. Thank you

[@gardencrossings]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jenmason40]

Hello from zone 5b Canada 🇨🇦 I’ve been watching you the past 2 years. I planted Tuff Stuff Ah-ha & mine is staying a beautiful blue. I also have Fire Light Tidbit You are such a delight to watch & knowledgeable. You always have amazing tips & great ideas

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for watching we appreciate that. you are lucky yours are blue.

[@almabuettell6491]

Been watching you for about 3 to 4 years. Really learn alot. Why don't you plant more in the let's dance series? I live in southeast Kansas.

[@gardencrossings]

We have a few new ones that we added this year. I should try to get them in the next video

[@karenchisholm623]

I think I have been following Garden Crossings for a couple of years, now. The information you give has been so helpful. I’ve always been very pleased with the plants I have ordered. 😊

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for watching! We appreciate you letting us be a part of your garden projects

[@shesaid20]

This is my first video of yours. Subscribed !!

[@gardencrossings]

Welcome aboard! So glad you found us💓🌼💓

[@jenmazz1257]

Looks so nice Heidi! I’ve just discovered your channel this season. Love it! 🥰💞💜🧡🪻🦋 I live in Hamilton ON zone 5b 🇨🇦

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for subscribing.

[@peggyvargo8603]

Hi Heidi, i think i have been watching for 4 years now. You do a great job showing the plants with all the details. I have learned so much and am truly grateful for you. Thank you so very much ❤

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you so much for the kind words💕

[@DebbieJones-l1t]

I've been watching about 3 years and I follow you on FB as well. You do a great job. I would love to know when you do your videos what direction the plants are planted. Example: North, South, East or West. That helps me with placement at my house. Keep up the good work.

[@gardencrossings]

Your suggestion makes sense. Most of the gardens are west facing and get 8+ hours of sun.

[@edieball7910]

Hi Heidi, I’ve been watching your videos for about a year or so. I live in Michigan zone 6B. I love your videos they are very informative. I have we bit grumpy hydrangeas and I absolutely love them. Thank you for all the great information you have given, I have learned a lot from you and Garden Crossing 😁🌺🌸🌱❤️

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for following, I am glad you are learning along the way.

[@SaraWhiteChi]

Hi Heidi! 👋 I particularly enjoy your lists (e.g., "8 Best Spring Blooming Perennials"), new product reveals, garden tours especially with plant IDs (have rewatched all your Walters Garden hosta tours!), and anything to do with your butterflies! 🦋 And extra thanks for your recent "What is the Difference in Container Sizes Plants are Grown In" - so useful! Xo from Chicago ✨

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for the feedback, that is really helpful. When i ordered a 'gallon' size plant and it wasn't a gallon I knew it was time to point the differences out.

[@nallen1833]

This hydrangea hedge with different varieties is so helpful. I am still going back and forth between varieties but I think I need some little quick fire. It’s been a couple years that I have been watching your channel. Started with Laura and since she is such a PW advocate, I went shopping and found your channel. ❤

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for watching.

[@dhill2953]

Hi, I have been watching for a year or so - loyal follower here!

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for following! I appreciate it.

[@raquelcontigo]

Hi Heidi, I've been following since 2022 I think. That's when I started getting seriously interested in gardening and created my first flower bed. I have a very similar hedge to this one with 5 thujas and 3 quick fire fabs. I underplant with the sunpatiens which I learned from your channel are low maintenance, they just need to be watered, they are doing fabulous in the ground. The only problem I have with sunpatiens this year is in my window boxes, they are struggling with the heat. Unfortunately, have lost 3 already and the ones that are still alive are not producing many flowers :(. I really like how the lemon coral sedum look. I may try that next year.

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for following. I am not sure if you are fertilizing, but if you are Sunpatiens don't care for fertilizer.

[@raquelcontigo]

@@gardencrossings no I haven't been fertilizing per your recommendation not too. I believe my mistake was overwatering during the extended heat wave. ;(

[@jackschatz2010]

Hi Heidi ,I just found you to day. you Hydreangea look buetiful

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for watching, be sure to subscribe❤

[@debravestal1875]

I’ve been following along for a few years now, your a wealth of information.i love the looseness of the pufferfish but i live in zone 9a Alabama and would be pushing it as it says hardy to zone 8. I planted small limelight’s last fall and they’re doing great in full sun they have several blooms.

[@gardencrossings]

If you are willing to try, it may be worth it. Zones recommendations are meant to be pushed 😊😂

[@lindakay8171]

I guess I've been watching for approx. two years and live in Zone 7A, SE PA. Have enjoyed all the videos no matter what the content. Keep up the good work!!

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for the feedback and for following

[@belindam3797]

Hi Heidi, I discovered your videos earlier this year, so I’ve only been following for a few months really. I really find Garden Crossings videos to be enjoyable and very informative! 😊

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for watching and the feedback

[@kathysinclair3011]

I've been following you about a year. I always enjoy the videos and I love the plants I have ordered from you.

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for letting us be a part of your garden!!🌼

[@shellydasonthegraywrennest]

Shelly Dason Ohio 6b. I’ve been following for at least 4 years. Attended your signature garden tour. Loved it! It was my 25th wedding anniversary gift from my hubby! I recommend it to all of the followers! Janey from Dig Plant Water Repeat just visited my garden. I mentioned you and the signature garden tour during our visit….I’m sure it will make the video cut! Would love to do another tour with your company next year. How about a signature garden tour 2.0 for returning guests???? Please!

[@gardencrossings]

I am looking to do another show next year! We hope to see you there.

[@leiaflash5055]

Heidi, I've been watching every single one of your videos for 4 years now, back to your very short snippets! I find them informative and entertaining! Basically, I'd watch anything you post. I did especially love the ones you did where you walked through your hanging basket displays and told us what plants and how many in them. Great way for me to get ideas and be inspired. Keep making videos and I'll keep watching! P.S. got my hands on a few Anna's Magic Balls after seeing the ones on your tours... 😃😃😃

[@gardencrossings]

Enjoy your Anna's Magic balls. Fun little evergreens

[@elainewashington3004]

I have followed you several years. Great knowledge info on plants and shrubs plus occasional tool recommendation. Very non biased suggestions!

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you. I like to tell it like it is. No one is paying me to promote.

[@karennettesheim9354]

Hi Heidi, I have been watching for at least 2 yrs, maybe longer...I don't remember anymore. Love all your videos, always well done!!! Love all the information you provide.

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for the positive feedback.

[@marybaure8440]

Hello Heidi! I have only been watching for about 6 months now. I love to watch what you have planted and learn about different plants and what works for you in Michigan. I am in 8a area and love to see what drought tolerant plants you grow and love to see how the plants do over time. You are knowledgeable and non-biased. I have learned so much! My hydrangeas grow quite well here. I have blue, pink & purple ones. I planted a Little Limelight 2 years ago. Last year, it did not have any flowers. This year, the buds are there, so I should see flowers soon. The plant does not have the full foliage like yours does.

[@carolinarede474]

Good morning Heidi. Your hydrangeas look lovely and I love how healthy and green your arborvitae trees look. How do you keep them looking healthy? I have the worst luck with these evergreen trees. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 😊

[@gardencrossings]

The best advice i can give it to make sure they get watered regularly.

[@ScaredOfPlasticBags]

Hi Heidi. I've been a subscriber for about a year. I love seeing your garden tours to see how plants are growing and changing. I love listening to your tips and information on all the different varieties. I love seeing upcoming, new plants. I'd love to hear more about shrubs and trees and how some need pollinators to produce berries because that's what I'm researching. I'm considering a lemon lace elderberry and summer wine ninebark. My main reason for wanting to add them is for birds to enjoy the berries. I don't fully understand the pollinating part and when or how that occurs. I'm in central Ohio, zone 6b.

[@maryk1668]

Found your channel about a year ago. Hooked. Love the hydrangeas! I have many of the varieties you have shown and have started some from cuttings. That row is gorgeous! Little lime punch is my fav😊 NW Pa

[@gardencrossings]

Little Lime Punch is a great new addition.

[@anitaramanna7506]

Beautiful!!! What kind of flower plants are there in the background with pink, red and lemony white, if you can make another video about them in the future, thanks from Murphy Texas.

[@gardencrossings]

Those are Vista Bubblegum Petunias, Supertunia Saffron Finch, and Sunpatiens Tropical Rose

[@jessicacook8186]

Beautiful Heidi!

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for watching.

[@tannenbaumgirl3100]

Started watching early since you've began your channel.

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for being a faithful follower

[@susanbusching8165]

Hi Hiedi, I’ve been watching you about a year. I’m in zone 5/6 Do you fertilize more than spring? My hydrangeas are just starting to get buds… I Love Proven Winners plants. My hydrangea punch have been in the ground two years and maybe only 1.5 tall and wide(planted one gallon). Could it be because I’ve got other plants around them? I was going for that cottage look? Should I transplant plant further away from the hydrangeas? Thanks for all your help….❤ Susan 🌸

[@beckyk2581]

I sure wish my hydrangeas looked like that. I'm in Northern Illinois, zone 5b. I planted mine last summer in full sun, and they aren't even close to yours :(. Are there any tips you can give me? I also water them about twice a week. I fertilized them with Hollytone this Spring.

[@gardencrossings]

In the first year we watered daily. Now they get 1-2 times a week plus any rain that comes.

[@beckyk2581]

Thanks, Heidi! Maybe mine will catch up next year! 🤞

[@lisajones7094]

2 years here. How long do you water the hydrangea hedge. I do understand it’s twice a week, and that’ll never work in the south. I am just looking for a watering reference.

[@gardencrossings]

You are right, daily in the south i would think. We may need to kick up the water now that it is mid summer here.

[@waughtercolors]

I just found you this winter, Maine zone 5a 5b

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for watching.

[@dvanschepen]

Do these get cut back or do you just leave them alone

[@gardencrossings]

We trim the flowers off in late fall.

[@sharonmiller5183]

Hi Heidi, I came across a video tour of your home gardens several years ago and was so impressed with the beautiful hydrangeas you had . I bought a bobo and 1 other hydrangea i don't remember the name. Meanwhile a year or so later when i tried to find you again i simply did not remember what name you were under but finally this year you popped up again in my you tube feed. So i promptly subscribed! My bobo delighted me with it's first flowers this year. I love the hedge you plamted at your parking lot!

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for the following. Sorry you have been missing out the last couple years. Tine for Garden Crossings binge watching 😂
