I bought two of them earlier this week don't have a clue where I'm going to put them but they're hardly ever available in my area zone 9B so I have to plant them in part sun 😎 I love them that much 🤓
I really appreciate the fact that you mention thr zones for all your plants, even though you garden in zone where zones don't matter as much. I garden in zone 3 and love our growing season. Looking for a Bobo asap.
Thank you for the kind words. I imagine your plant choices are quite different from ours here in the US. I'd be interested to know what is popular there!
I see you working so hard to plant things so I have something that helped us dig holes in our clay in TN. We are 75 years old and use this spade/shovel to make it easier on us.It comes from QVC,the item number is M65692 it is called a spear head gardening spade and shovel.It is not cheap but you can buy it on easy pay.I don't know if you ever shopped from there before but I have for over 25 years.This made our lives so much easier when it came to gardening.
I have only just now managed to get hold of one 💕 they go so quickly here in the UK as they are a very popular plant 🪴 🌺🪴 your Bobo is going to give you so much joy 💕
Hi from N Anne Arundel county! Just found your channel 😊. I bought 2 Bobos on clearance at Lowes a few weeks ago. I planted them in pots and I hope to overwinter them there while I make a place for them in my garden (want to try the no dig method for a new bed in the fall and plant in the spring, we'll see how patient I can be!).
We all have our soil challenges. My entire yard is sand. I am on the southeastern coast of NC, zone 8a. Water drains quickly, mostly a good thing because we have 6 inches of rain in 36 hours. I’ve gardened in heavy clay. What a challenge!
I get confused with hydrangea. They say full to part shade but I see them planted with full shade plants. Can you clear my head? Am I correct that bleeding heart us full shade and hostas are mixed. My yard is mostly full shade. On a side note, I can't get bleeding heart to grow! So frustrating!
There are multiple types of hydrangea, and each requires different conditions. All require lots of water. Paniculata (Limelight, Bobo, others) require full to part sun. Macrophylla (Endless Summer, others) require part to full shade. etc. Be sure to look up what type you are planting before deciding where to put it. Bleeding heart can take part sun, but not hot afternoon sun. Morning sun afternoon shade is best. it is also thirsty and needs to be kept well watered. Hostas can take more sun, but usually prefer dappled shade. They also need water. Sense a theme????? :-). Good luck!
I think the auger is just a bit more power tool than I could easily handle on my own - at least the large one that I'd need for this tough soil! I like the exercise, anyway. :-)

You gotta do what you gotta do, right???? Good luck!

I think the BoBo will look so pretty there.
Thanks!!!!

I hope you find one! You might try mail order as a last resort. Good luck!
I liked the way you explain everything about plants
Thanks a lot for sharing
In India can't get this hydrangeas easily......

Good morning
Many plants are popular here

Thanks for the tip! (I would have had an easier time if I had watered in advance, but oh well). It's a great form of exercise, anyway.
You can also add compost to the hole you dig which will help to amend the soil in the area you are planting.
Yes, sometimes I do that.
Looks so cute in your hat garden is nice
haha, thanks!
Beautiful garden! I planted 2 Bobo’s this year. Mid August they are doing great so far.
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy them for a long time to come!
I have only just now managed to get hold of one 💕 they go so quickly here in the UK as they are a very popular plant 🪴 🌺🪴 your Bobo is going to give you so much joy 💕
I'm so glad you got one! I can't wait to see it next year!
I just purchased a Bobo and am excited to see it bloom. I will see it bloom this summer correct?
I believe so! Good luck!
Thanks Jenny for the info, I was just looking at a bobo hydrangea the other day, just trying to figure out where I would plant it, lol!!
Good luck! You know you need it!!!! :-)
Maumee Ohio is all clay, drives my mom bonkers. I have great soft sand like dirt and all my plants thrive!! Yes just keep adding top soil

hi neighbor! Welcome! I'm going to do a couple more no-dig beds over the winter too... we'll see!
Maybe you need an electric auger like what Laura on "Garden Answer" has?

You're so right!!!!!
Bought a PW panicle hydrangea without a tag for 50% off last month. Could be a Bobo, a Limelight, a....🤣 Adventures in gardening!
always an adventure!
This is SUCH a great video...so clear and well done. I am planting some of these today and this was a great prep video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Perhaps an auger would help you given you garden in clay soil. Beautiful garden!
