Luchy you!!! Hydrangea translates to "water vessel". They are so beautiful!!! I can't have them in my climate though, unless I'm wiling to water them every day (sometimes twice) to keep them alive.
I bought one of these plants a few years ago and didn’t really have a place to plant it and so I planted it at the side of my house in relatively mostly shade! 3 years later and this year in particular I’m shocked at its size and the amount of heads on it! There’s probably more than 70 plus but I’ve noticed that the heads seem a bit smaller because there are so many! Should I trim the back or just cut off a bunch to bring indoors for the living room? Again I never had any expectations for this plant and now it’s an absolute monstrosity!
That is awesome!! You can definitely take some blooms inside. The plant should have time to continue growing and set new blooms for next year. Once the plant dies back in the fall, you can also remove any dead wood from the middle which will make more room for the live branches next year. You can also remove any weak or spindly branches to allow more room for the strongest branches.
Thanks for subbing! I am in zone 7b (Long Island NY). I don't do anything special for them and most years they do fine. Most of mine are planted along my foundation, so they do get a wind break. If it gets very cold by your then you may want to protect with frost fabric and a heavy mulch before winter settles in. Thank so much for watching!!
@@uptosomething6271 I'm in Nassau, my daughter is in Lindenhurst and we go to the home depot on sunrise, but that might be Copiague and they never have sales either. I'll check the ones by me occasionally the one in Jericho will put stuff on clearance, but usually not till later in the summer. Nice to see i'm watching someone with the same growing conditions lol. ppl don't understand our zone 7 is very different from most other zone 7's. Thanks for the info.
Awesome ❤️ finds!! I saw that at Home Depot by me too!! Lots of great clearance flowers too!!
So cool! Clearance plant shopping is one of my favorite hobbies!

Thank you! Yes, even here they must be watered often unless they are planted with morning sun and afternoon shade.
Wish our HOME DEPOT HAD sells on their flowers and shrub. I live in Putnam County Florida.
Mine usually never does, but I got lucky. Maybe it is a new thing...

I bought a hydrangea bloomed purple last year this year no blooms
Last of the season I saved 170. Dollars at home Depot
I never see deals. I bought a Summer Crush at a garden center and I probably paid $50 for it.
Maybe you will get lucky next time too!
I'm on long island in NY and home depot usually doesn't have clearance where are you?
Hey Neighbor!! I am in Suffolk, I got these plants at the Patchogue Home Depot on Sunrise. I have never seen deals like this before!

You can propagate a patented hydrangea, you just can't sell or trade it.
Thanks for sharing!
