What are the odds that I bought these exact hydrangeas yesterday! I was searching you tube for planting videos and could hardly find any. Unbelievable. Yayyy! Now time to get it in the ground. Xo thanks Laura you're awesome
This looks so nice and I just love the bird bath. Do you change the water everyday? Is it just as easy as using your garden hose? or is there a better recommended maintenance for bird baths?
Hi! Needed to drop by and leave a like!!! We were actually out in our garden admiring and attending our hydrangeas. They are all blooming and showing colors! We are so excited and then to come and see what beautiful hydrangeas you are planting just awesome! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Beautiful planting Laura! Love 'Tuff Stuff'! planted them this spring, they are pink and I added an acidifier to 'blue' them. Not sure how long it takes. but they are blooming like crazy right now.
Nothing like coming from the garden and walking into a new garden answer video. Love the area you planted and we recently planted around our birdbath as well. Love the hydrangeas as it is one our greatest obsessions. It will be awesome once the birds start coming around for a bath. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Love the hydrangeas since watching yr videos I now have 6 in my garden. I also have the "urn's" bug too. Don't think I will be able to stretch to a fountain tho 😆 Looking forward to seeing how this bed develops xx
That's going to be a beautiful space.. And now i don't feel bad for cutting back and getting ready to dig out more roses myself lol they don't look good they need to move on to new homes. I am only keeping 4 since i am not a rose person. i don't care for bright red or pink in my yard. I'm ok with white, yellow and orange. I know you mentioned moving your tri color beech tree is that still the plan? With those colors you added in makes me think you might be keeping it there lol
Beautiful!! Do you have any videos on how to create new beds/borders from lawn? I want to start cutting some new bed borders out of existing lawn but I'm a bit intimidated and not sure where to start. I'd like to start with a small area, and slowly increase it each year.
I have to compliment Aaron on his keen photographic 'eye.' The montage of close-ups at the end of your videos are so clear, colorful and artfully composed. They're a joy to watch!
So funny, the staring! No one tells you, when you're starting to garden, how much time will be spent just standing and staring at a space. Non-gardening neighbors will actually come over to see what you're staring at!
Hi! I love your videos! I did not see the link you mentioned posting on hydrangea care. I recently moved to a house with about twenty, old hydrangeas and could really use the advice on pruning and care. Thank you!
Laura I do that too, leaving plants a few days before I plant. I’m watching how the sun, wind, and heat get to them. Plants that are not suppose to be full son have done well; go figure. Our Texas heat is brutal.
I check every morning for a new video for my daily inspiration to get outside and plant more plants! I have so much more to do. Thanks for this mornings inspiration. More hydrangeas it is! My favorite ones are paniculata, because their blooms age so nicely.
Just love the addition and the bird bath. Your eye for beauty never fails. Aaron just gets more polished and professional. I always enjoy his touch to your creativity.
This Hydrangea is so unusually beautiful! I loved learning about this variety of Hydrangea, thank you Laura, this was a awesome video to watch, it was very informative. I love your videos, they are fun.
Hi Laura, I didn’t find the link to the hydrangea pruning video? Can you repost that link? Thanks! I love the inspiration that you and Aaron share in every video! Update: Oh, hey I found it (I think) so, adding the link in case others were looking for it!

I LOVE hydrangeas, but zone 9b isn’t the best place to grow them either. Here, they thrive up against a wall that doesn’t get too much sun & is shaded from the high afternoon heat. I went thru 3 before I finally had 2 that took & have adapted to the heat (it can get to 116 in summer) over the last 5 years. These are a pretty lace Cap! Can’t wait to see this corner evolve! Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
Faylyn Hillier I would love to! We hope to retire away from the intense heat we get here. Although, thus far we’ve been lucky this year. It’s been rather cool, highest temp only 106. We actually had a temperate spring that started in February. But the daily wind has been ferocious!
Could you actually plant the Japanese maple without hitting tree roots from the already established maple tree nearby? It may bully your Japanese maple for water and nutrients unless your irrigation system makes up for that. Also, your Japanese maple may end up stunted if its root system is constricted by any aggressive and established roots of the maple tree. Unless you want that kind of look.
Just seen a video of you planting hostas and I did see this area were you planted the hydrangeas two years ago next to the birdbath, looks like everything didn’t work out, yes hydrangeas could be a pain.
So how is it you never have to fight digging into tree roots? I'm doing my front yard all in cottage gardens and have to fight tree roots constantly..we have two big maples in front...
I just planted three " little tuff stuff" hydrangeas and I love them so much. I HAD to have them because they stay so small and they are just gorgeous! Love how it turned out! It's just beautiful Laura.
BEAUTIFUL new hydrangeas...my favorite shrub......will be looking for that next spring...GLAD you used the #1 rule in landscaping....Planting in odd numbers 3...5...7....looks fantastic!
I have never seen a black picket fence before - I live in England where we generally have solid wooden fence panels (weather boarded), hedges or stone/brick walls - there is the occasional picket fence but they are usually white or pastel sage green. I can’t get over how striking your veg garden fences are - it’s so interesting to see. Xx
Laura your garden designs are just beautiful. I think I speak for all of your fans from UA-cam. What do we have to do to get a Garden Answer shirt? Please, please.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love your channel, I used Rose Tone on all of my hydrangeas this year which were reliably blue when I used Holly Tone, this year they are very healthy bloomers but pink. I think the best epsoma product depends on your soil and desired color with hydrangea. Tuff Stuff Ah Ha have proved to be very hardy plants, very happy with them nestled in front of David Austin Lady Gardener roses and an Orangeola Japanese Maple.
I just received a new type of hydrangea called “felicity’ and after watching this video I am thinking I want a few of the ‘tiny tuff stuff’ they get 18” to 24’”. Hydrangeas are the most beautiful plants, next to roses, flowering maples, delphiniums and on and on. I also love gardening.
Good morning Laura, ah so beautiful! I’m a lover of hydrangeas and I’m always looking for spots in the garden to plant them. I live in a zone five and have a quick fire that gets about four hours of sun and isn’t doing that great, any help on why is much appreciated. Thank you. Happy gardening! 😉🦋🌸🐝
In 2005, I planted a Japanese "cutleaf" maple at a corner of my deck. I also planted three hydrangeas that have purplish-blue blooms around it. That tiny little $130 tree is now 10' high and beautiful in morning sun to part sun and the hydrangeas bloom like gangbusters every year! 💜
Do you mind doing a video on how or what you do to overwinter hydrangeas? I planted several last year just because of you! They all came back and are looking great. However, I live in the same climate as you. Like you said we had a pretty mild winter. So it usually means next year winter is going to be harder. I did nothing to protect them, but I'm having a feeling like I better next winter. TY
I can't figure it out-videos on the ground makes your property look HUGE, but drone shots look more like what most of us have. Does the drone show the whole property at once?
What a beautiful hydrengea, love it! Maybe I’ll get a couple next year when my budget allows it. I just purchased 3 little limes that were on clearance, I couldn’t be happier. I’m waiting for this heat wave to be over so I can put them in the ground.
I first saw that type of hydrangea in Melbourne Australia when visiting my brother. I bought some for my place as roots because it was cheaper but I've discovered they're going to take forever to get big and other plants are taking advantage of the space and growing in and crowding them. I bought a couple big ones this year and they are so much more worth paying the extra for since they can hold their own space with the plants around them and look fabulous instantly.
Hi Laura! Love the new Ah-Ha Hydrangea and look forward to planting them. Also, I love your videos and look forward to watching them everyday! I have learned so much!! Thank you again!
Gorgeous!!! Plus the lighting change towards the end of the video looked really atmospheric and beautiful. Have you considered creating a kind of moon garden somewhere on your property? This video is so inspiring.
Laura - I'm viewing this in June of 2020 and just love it! Probably one of my favorite vignettes that you've done. Just so pretty and sweet. Thank you!
My son and daughter gave me a dwarf Japanese for Mother’s day years ago, and I planted it under a large tree at the end of my front sidewalk. I just love it! Also, I’m so happy I learned from you about Henri Studios. I’ve purchased the larger little girl and boy planters and I am really enjoying them.
Lovely grouping! We had to relocate a Japanese maple we planted in the spring. It wasn't happy at all in the sunny location. We moved it to a spot in the back yard where we hope less direct sun will make the little tree happier. Thanks for all your inspiration!
Looks beautiful 😍 You guys have the most lovely "pockets" of gardens throughout your property. I have a hydrangea that the previous owner of our home planted and it gets far too much sun and in turn is a very sad looking hydrangea. When is the best time of year to try and move it to a new location?
Linda Lee That's what I was thinking! I ran outside to look at a specific corner to see how a birdbath would look there. And...that is where there will be at least 1 hydrangia...
Helen Hoverson & Linda Lee My sister in VA just planted a Tuff Stuff Mountain Hydrangea - red at the corner of her front porch. She sent me a pic and it's gorgeous, too! The same hydrangea serrata; but, red blooms and the foliage has a touch of deep, red/burgundy here and there. I love ALL of them! 💜
Love those hydrangeas. How do you get the hosts under the maple tree to grow? I can never get hosts to grow under my maples as the root systems seem to strangle them and take up all the moisture.
What are the odds that I bought these exact hydrangeas yesterday! I was searching you tube for planting videos and could hardly find any. Unbelievable. Yayyy! Now time to get it in the ground. Xo thanks Laura you're awesome
You never disappoint. Love learning about new plants. I’m always taking notes.
This looks so nice and I just love the bird bath. Do you change the water everyday? Is it just as easy as using your garden hose? or is there a better recommended maintenance for bird baths?
Hi! Needed to drop by and leave a like!!! We were actually out in our garden admiring and attending our hydrangeas. They are all blooming and showing colors! We are so excited and then to come and see what beautiful hydrangeas you are planting just awesome! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Can’t wait for a garden tour too see how everything you’ve done has progressed
Such lovely hydrangeas! Looking forward to see how this section evolves.
Beautiful planting Laura! Love 'Tuff Stuff'! planted them this spring, they are pink and I added an acidifier to 'blue' them. Not sure how long it takes. but they are blooming like crazy right now.

Will you post the video link mentioned? How and when to prune hydrangeas
That's going to be a beautiful space.. And now i don't feel bad for cutting back and getting ready to dig out more roses myself lol they don't look good they need to move on to new homes. I am only keeping 4 since i am not a rose person. i don't care for bright red or pink in my yard. I'm ok with white, yellow and orange. I know you mentioned moving your tri color beech tree is that still the plan? With those colors you added in makes me think you might be keeping it there lol
Taking that square corner off the bed would smooth out the transition to the right turn walkway, and soften the lines of the bed.
Love being able to see start to finish on this area. 💚🌸
Beautiful!! Do you have any videos on how to create new beds/borders from lawn? I want to start cutting some new bed borders out of existing lawn but I'm a bit intimidated and not sure where to start. I'd like to start with a small area, and slowly increase it each year.
Love those hydrangeas. I bought butterfly bush and few other plants this morning just waiting till evening to plant them. Can't wait. Love gardening.
I have to compliment Aaron on his keen photographic 'eye.' The montage of close-ups at the end of your videos are so clear, colorful and artfully composed. They're a joy to watch!
Already loving this space. Those hydrangeas are on point! 👌🏻
I love the Japanese Maple. Everything looks great together. Still Loving your videos. Have a great day.
So funny, the staring! No one tells you, when you're starting to garden, how much time will be spent just standing and staring at a space. Non-gardening neighbors will actually come over to see what you're staring at!
Hi! I love your videos! I did not see the link you mentioned posting on hydrangea care. I recently moved to a house with about twenty, old hydrangeas and could really use the advice on pruning and care. Thank you!
Japanese Maple with Hydrangeas is the best combination also my zone 6. I can’t wait to see what you add to this area❤️
Beautiful! Can't wait until the whole area is finished.
Laura I do that too, leaving plants a few days before I plant. I’m watching how the sun, wind, and heat get to them. Plants that are not suppose to be full son have done well; go figure. Our Texas heat is brutal.

I LOVE THIS SPOT!!! I like the different shades of pink in the two little trees and the new hydrangea blooms. Ohhh! so gorgeous.
Did we get an update to the Tuff Stuff Ah-HA? I am interested in planting one this year. Thanks!
Japanese maples are so beautiful and they will look gorgeous with the blue hydrangea!
Just love the addition and the bird bath. Your eye for beauty never fails. Aaron just gets more polished and professional. I always enjoy his touch to your creativity.
This Hydrangea is so unusually beautiful! I loved learning about this variety of Hydrangea, thank you Laura, this was a awesome video to watch, it was very informative. I love your videos, they are fun.
There's something about the words "tucked in" that just makes everything better, I love this look!

I love a Japanese Maple! I look forward to seeing how those hydrangeas do for you. They are intimidating especially in dry, intense sun climate.
Very pretty, I can't wait for part 2 😀
I LOVE hydrangeas, but zone 9b isn’t the best place to grow them either. Here, they thrive up against a wall that doesn’t get too much sun & is shaded from the high afternoon heat.

Nia Lin I wish you good luck!
Can I trade you zones? I’m in 4b but my microclimate is more of a 5a.
Faylyn Hillier I would love to! We hope to retire away from the intense heat we get here. Although, thus far we’ve been lucky this year. It’s been rather cool, highest temp only 106. We actually had a temperate spring that started in February. But the daily wind has been ferocious!
I think we're all going to be planting hydrangeas now since these new varieties that are easier to prune have been introduced. I just love them.
Any update on these beauties as far as blooming success goes? I live in a very similar climate.
FLOWER HILL FARM Nicole says "these ones" and "those ones" rather than "these" and "those" all the time too....Look her up.
I’m from Pennsylvania and found these Hydrangeas at our Home Depot
Could you actually plant the Japanese maple without hitting tree roots from the already established maple tree nearby? It may bully your Japanese maple for water and nutrients unless your irrigation system makes up for that.
Also, your Japanese maple may end up stunted if its root system is constricted by any aggressive and established roots of the maple tree. Unless you want that kind of look.
I am in zone 4. I love blue hydrangeas, but they are all zone 5. Do you think they can survive in zone 4 with some winter protection?
I saw this variety growing wild in Japan and I'm so excited to see this video. I have always loved these!
I like that you can visualize the plants growing and filling in. The new hydrangeas are exciting!
Just seen a video of you planting hostas and I did see this area were you planted the hydrangeas two years ago next to the birdbath, looks like everything didn’t work out, yes hydrangeas could be a pain.
Can you do update on your beauty berry? Please
I absolutely love all your videos. I have just found you on UA-cam. I live in Newfoundland Canada zone 5b.
So how is it you never have to fight digging into tree roots? I'm doing my front yard all in cottage gardens and have to fight tree roots constantly..we have two big maples in front...
I just planted my hydrangea tuff stuff ah ha in a container yesterday, do I have to pick off the dry flowers buds?
I just planted three " little tuff stuff" hydrangeas and I love them so much. I HAD to have them because they stay so small and they are just gorgeous! Love how it turned out! It's just beautiful Laura.
I'm sorry! They are called "TINY tuff stuff" not little! LOL!
Around the 6:00 mark, what is that pink trees behind you?
All Things Alicia it's a tri colored beech. She talks about it in this video about 5 min in.

Thank you so much! I must have missed that video.
Love the blooms on this one! Beautiful work as always :)
So happy to see a video especially the beautiful hydrangea!

These are beautiful! I’m always envious of how perfect your digging is, sounds crazy but my holes are always a mess lol
The tuff stuff hydrangeas are really pretty! I get confused about lighting...I need a timer under my trees to see how long the sun lasts. Haha
Looks beautiful 😍 You guys have the most lovely "pockets" of gardens throughout your property.
I have a hydrangea that the previous owner of our home planted and it gets far too much sun and in turn is a very sad looking hydrangea. When is the best time of year to try and move it to a new location?
Hello Laura, Your videos are very interesting. Since I' have been looking at your videos I show more interest in my garden .
Howdy from Texas. Love seeing what yall can grow in your neck of the woods. Very inspiring videos and gardens.
It looks amazing. I can't wait to get some of those hydrangeas. Do you know how to find out were they will be sold.
Christina Hutchison you can just Google them and then check with local or online nurseries! 💜
I have this thing for birdbaths and I just love this little one in the video. Guess I'm going shopping!!! 🐦🌻
Linda Lee That's what I was thinking! I ran outside to look at a specific corner to see how a birdbath would look there. And...that is where there will be at least 1 hydrangia...
Helen Hoverson I'm having a hard time finding the birdbath online or near me. 😟 I'm not giving up. My feathered friends will love it. 🐦
Helen Hoverson & Linda Lee My sister in VA just planted a Tuff Stuff Mountain Hydrangea - red at the corner of her front porch. She sent me a pic and it's gorgeous, too! The same hydrangea serrata; but, red blooms and the foliage has a touch of deep, red/burgundy here and there. I love ALL of them! 💜
Linda Lee I would love to see that red hydrangea.
Go online, Helen! You can just Google it, "Tuff Stuff Mountain Hydrangea". The pictures are so good! If you like red, you'll LOVE this Hydrangea. 💜
Wow the area is coming so nice and beautiful
I love Hydrangeas they are one of my favorites. Thank you for all the information about them. That’s very helpful..
I've always want hydrangeas, but living here in Las Vegas (zone 9) I've been scared lol
what state do you live in that you can have a Japanese Maple? I live in western Nebraska and I've been told that they don"t grow in this area.
What is a Japanese Maple alternative if you live in zone 9 area.
such beautiful hydrangea. I can only dream I can have a chance to grow it it in my tropical country. sigh. *envy you*
If you have trouble finding homes for the roses, I could totally give you my address. ;)
How do you think they would do in a pot? I'm in zone 9A
Got that hydrangea on sale and really happy! Great performer!
What about the two tree’s roots? I’m worried they will compete and the younger will not do well.
It's nice you work with a budget.
would a hydrangea do good in a large pot long term? My soil is so sandy that even after mixing in compost it still drooping everyday.
Good job, looks great 👍
Yes hydrangeas are intimating. I’m in Zone 9 and getting ready to relocate some for a fourth time. Damn those “ah ha” you have are more than nice.
Ive seen you use this a few times but never asked. Where did you get that oversized kneeler? Love it! Have to have it!
That hydrangea is beautiful!
Love those hydrangeas. How do you get the hosts under the maple tree to grow? I can never get hosts to grow under my maples as the root systems seem to strangle them and take up all the moisture.
You are so beautiful! Great video as usual
We have some sparse areas between our hydrangeas, any recommendations to fill in the gaps?
loving the camera work.
Am I missing where the link is to know how to prune hydrangea? Can someone point it out for me please?
Those Tuff Stuff hydrangeas are beautiful. Learning lots on here ty.
