If you are interested in how you can get the very best out of your greenhouse, even a small one like mine, then this video will be really useful for you - How to maximise the potential of your greenhouse: ua-cam.com/video/iAZPHpt3oR8/v-deo.html
More good info - thanks for making it! We can normally chance it here and leave the hydrangeas out over the winter, but this year I’ll go belt-and-braces and bring them in! ❄️
:) thanks Niall To be honest, it's still mild here. Winter doesnt seem to be coming so I could probably have left them a bit longer, but after the last couple of years, I was terrified to risk a unexpected frost.
Congratulations on staying under ten minutes 😂😂 I know it's not easy! This is full of great advice and I'm sending it straight to jess as she loves hydrangeas!
Yes me too watched until the end😂😂, no chance of taking my Hydrangeas in, been in my front garden for many a year, but I didn't know about the oldwood/ dead wood.Greenhouse has arrived but in true Scottish style the weather has not been good to start putting it together.😄
Where can I see the follow up. I have mopheads that I need to winterize I have a spot in the garage where I could put them and I’d like to know what happened to yours after you took them in. I read that it was not such a success and I cannot find a fellow a video
You know what - we still haven't been hit with the usual weather. Normally it's proper cold and frosty by now, but it's not. Everything is still flowering. Worried about what will happen to all that lovely tender new growth when the winter does finally come :(
Wow - the things you need to know in chilly Scotland - in Wiltshire we just leave them outside. I must admit, ever since you brought them in the greenhouse I was wondering why. Down South there's no better plant to embrace Autumn with. They look so lovely with frost on the old mop heads (and if we're lucky, some snow). But I appreciate it's a lot colder up there. Have you heard about Mother's Day hydrangeas? Apparently they're forced to flower earlier for Mother's Day, which leaves them too weak to get through winter once you've bought them. Another way to get caught out!
Well you might be surprised t know that there are a huge amount of folk around here who don't need to protect their plants. They don't seem to have any issues at all. I think it's very individual to your garden and how the frost affects it :) I've had a really mixed reaction to this video some folk finally discovered why their hydrangeas look like shit after winter and others horrified that I'd even consider this as it's completely unnecessary :)
I watched this when it came out and realized that I never actually left a comment about it. :( We haven't grown hydrangeas before, but I think they are a stunning plant, and I appreciate the explanation of the different varieties. How did you decide on variety when you first got them?
You know, we didn't decide. We were given that big one as a tiny potted plant from our friends as a house warming present. Hence why it's so precious to me. After that, we just saw things and genuinely, without checking it was suitable went - "oh pretty, lets buy that". :) I've learned since then and I'm a bit more careful about the plants I buy :)
I don't no. I leave pots wrapped and leave mulch in place but I only fleece the plant when the weather needs it. I don't like to leave things covered. I prefer to let air and light in if possible to keep things clean and healthy. Other folk do leave things covered though.
Hey Gen No I find that because they go dormant, there is no need. Usually it never dries out from the final water because the plant either stops or drastically reduces the water it uses. Just a note on this... if you watch later videos, you'll see that bringing it into the greenhouse wasn't a success

I feel like I should celebrate!

Oh no..... fingers crossed for you!!!!!!
😀😀😀😀
You guys have been asking on social media about my hydrangeas in the greenhouse.... so let me explain...
Where can I see the follow up. I have mopheads that I need to winterize I have a spot in the garage where I could put them and I’d like to know what happened to yours after you took them in. I read that it was not such a success and I cannot find a fellow a video
Hey Didi
It didn’t go well 😬
Check out the December garden chores video for that year. The thumbnail said Panic in the greenhouse
I have never bothered! But I'm a lot warmer than you! I'm down south! Mine still flower every year!

A video will done as always...
I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Where in Glasgow is it that cold for your Massive Scarf .....Glaswegian asking ...
I have no idea but last week it was nippy here on the east coast :)
Not so much this week mind.
If you wrap the tops in fleece would you just leave it on all winter?
I don't no. I leave pots wrapped and leave mulch in place but I only fleece the plant when the weather needs it. I don't like to leave things covered. I prefer to let air and light in if possible to keep things clean and healthy. Other folk do leave things covered though.
Do you water the hydrangea during winter in the greenhouse, thank you

@@eliandkate wasn't or was?,sorry
Wasn't. Great idea but in reality didn't work out as I'd hoped 😪
@@eliandkate thank you
