I just planted this type of hydrangea in a pot and watered it as soon as I finished. Location has partial sun. Today, I noticed some flower ends are starting to brown. What could be wrong?
It's most likely the plant just getting established in its new home. Be sure to keep it well watered for the first two weeks and then water deeply 2-3 times a week afterward. Once the plant does get established more you should start to see healthy new growth form :)
Beautiful! Love how you posted different videos of the progress throughout the seasons. Question,these seem to be planted in full sun. Do they need to be planted in full sun in order to get the same performance as in the videos? Or part sun will provide enough energy to get these many flowers? Thanks!
Glad you found these helpful! :) These are planted in full sun, in a climate similar to ours (USDA zone 5) they wouldn't bloom as prolifically in part sun, however, if you live in a warmer zone, the part sun would still bloom the same as these.
Im in zone 4b/5a, do I need to protect my late season buds overwinter so they'll bloom early the following Spring? I find it very hard to get an answer on these for macryphylla and serrata varieties and want to know if i should cover mine in burlap in late fall or not.
Totally get that! With hydrangeas like Let's Dance Can Do, Hydrangea macrophylla x serrata, they bloom on both old and new wood. When people protect their hydrangeas over winter, they are aiming to protect the old wood buds, so you can certainly do that with your Let's Dance Can Do to ensure you're getting as many blooms as possible, but the plant will also put out blooms on new wood and those would not be affected by the cold weather nor require any winter protection. The old wood blooms will open earlier as the new wood buds will still be forming, so protecting the old wood over the winter would help you to get those earlier blooms. I hope this helps! 😄
@@pwcolorchoice thank you so much and this is very helpful and finally explains in detail what I've been wondering about. I'm going to go ahead and protect my Blue Jangles and Tuff Stuff Ah Ha hydrangeas this fall. Thank you!
Yes, they do have fertile flowers for the pollinators, it is not a nativar and is a Hydrangea macrophylla x serrata, so a cross between those two types of hydrangeas :)
@@pwcolorchoice ah, thank you! I did not know that. I just bought 9 of these and have them in a hedge!!!! Can you advise on how early these will bloom? Mine are all in stunning bloom right now, but I am not sure if that is because they came from a hot house nursery or if that is just because they are early bloomers!!! I am in South Carolina in zone 7b.
@@fordguyfordguy That sounds lovely! These hydrangeas aren't specifically earlier bloomers, they tend to bloom in early-mid summer for us here in USDA zone 5b. I'm guessing yours are just a bit ahead from being in the nursery but they are really lovely plants! Your hedge sounds awesome :)
There are a few different online retailers that sell Proven Winner plants, but to get the best bang for your buck we recommend going to your local garden center. You can enter your zip code into this link and it will give you a list of all the local nurseries near you that carry PW plants :) www.mypwcolorchoices.com/retailers/
@@abtsamroobe9633 Got it! With mountain hydrangeas, you want to avoid pruning, except to remove any dead wood. Though they do rebloom readily on new wood, the best display comes from treating them as though they bloom only old wood. If these hydrangeas are pruned, it is likely the flower buds were removed and the plant didn't have enough time to recover and put new blooms out. I would leave them be for this coming year and you should see plenty of lovely blooms :)
Will the leaves turn darker colour? I tried to order 3 plants on your website and you are not deliver to Canada Alberta. How can I order them? Thanks 🙏
Yes, they do! Unfortunately, we do not ship to Alberta, I tried to find a retailer near you that carries PW plants but had no luck :/ Do you have a plant nursery near you that you know of? If so you can get in touch with them and inquire about them ordering plants in.
I have this in my garden. It doesn’t do well. But my panicle hydrangea are doing very well. Not sure how to make it looks like in the picture. Thank you!
Sorry to hear that! What zone are you in and how much sun are the hydrangeas getting? When you say they are not doing very well do you mean they aren't blooming?
@@pwcolorchoice I didn't see a reply from Lorraine - but might you have been thinking that her hydrangeas got too much sun? or perhaps not enough sun to bloom?
@@fordguyfordguy Yes, more often it is a lack of sun that will cause the plant to not blooms as prolifically. However, if the panicle hydrangeas are doing well then it is possible that there is another reason as to why they aren't performing as well.
@@pwcolorchoice Thank you.they are let’s dance blue. They have some leaves growing from the bottom but a little.l don’t pruning any things from them.I live in Canada ON.Now for the third year no blooming
@@abtsamroobe9633 It is still very early in the year for those hydrangeas to be blooming. They bloom in mid-summer in colder climates like the one you live in. If they haven't bloomed at all in the past and you haven't pruned them, it could be a lack of sunlight that is causing them to not bloom. How much sun do they receive a day?
@@pwcolorchoice about 7 hours a day in the morning sun. I want to buy some hydrangeas .what the best kind for my climate.thank you so much for you to care to answer my questions I appreciate your help
@@abtsamroobe9633 Because you're in a cooler climate, I would recommend that you go with either a Mountain or Oakleaf hydrangea.

Love love this Macrophylla Can Do - a game changer for us gardeners in zone 5/6!
Totally! We have been so impressed by this hydrangea :)
Totally agree Tracy.
This is really a stunning one. I am adding this to my garden this fall. Thanks for the update.
It certainly is! Good choice :)
How did it do in the spring for you after planting in the fall?
Would live to have several of these! They are beautiful 😍 ❤
They make a really beautiful border :)
I have to try this one for sure!
It really is a fantastic plant :)
Just beautiful and easy maintenance!
Absolutely! :)
Ordering more, thank you Stacey
Yay! :)

Would they do well in part shade, probably 2-3 hours of sun and then dappled afternoon sun? I’m in southern zone 7b and in a city so we are almost 8a.
Yes! They should grow just fine for you :)
I'd love to have this in my garden. Can it take some morning and most afternoon sun in zone 6?
Oh yes! It should grow great for you :)
At the time of this video, how long had those been in the ground there?
These hydrangeas had been planted the year previous to us filming this video and they were planted as 2 gallons ☺
Stacy - My LDCD hedge plants are doing well but the leaves are curling! Too much water or too little sun?

Will these have more blooms due to blooming along branch than the tuff stuff ah-ha? Can not decide between the two. Thanks
Yes, that is correct! These plants bloom on top, as well as down the stem, instead of just on the top :)
Do they have fertile flowers for pollinators? Is it a Nativar? What kind of hydrangea is this?
Yes, they do have fertile flowers for the pollinators, it is not a nativar and is a Hydrangea macrophylla x serrata, so a cross between those two types of hydrangeas :)
you mention "bigleaf" hydrageas twice, but this is serrata, correct? confused.
Both are correct actually! This is a H. macrophylla × serrata variety :)
