There are so many great hydrangeas available right now, and that's great for gardeners. But how should gardeners figure out which one to buy? The answer requires a bit of a digging, but it will be worth it to find the right hydrangea for your garden.

GREAT information Erin! Totally agree that with all the new varieties available, I've found myself confused on which one is right for my situation. I'm zone 7 and learned the hard way that one labeled "full sun" couldn't handle zone 7 full sun. Thanks for steering me on how to figure that out! Love your channel!

Another consideration is the sterile flowers/fertile flowers on the bloom. Sterile flowers are meant to "attract" the pollinators, who then need the fertile flowers for sustenance. Gigantic blooms that are nothing but sterile flowers aren't necessarily the best choice for pollinators. Of course gardens are for people, so plant what you think is beautiful. But maybe factor in the presence of fertile flowers in the bloom. This applies to arborescens (compare Haas Halo with even Annabelle; arborescens are actually lacecaps) and paniculata (compare Limelight flowers to Quickfire)

Thank you for this presentation. It touched on things that no one else is discussing. Part of the joy of a hobby is to dive into details and the history of the breeding or discovery during an expedition. It can provide the gardner that little bit of extra knowledge so you have more success stories and less stories of garden failures. There are more species of hydrangea, and some close relatives to seek out and enjoy. Some are even groundcovers and climbers.

I can’t even believe it happened, but here in Minnesota, the hydrangeas were nearly perfect across the board. We have had a severe drought all summer, so I don’t know how every single hydrangea I have seen across the state has been magnificent. Old, new, sun, shade, colors, whites, etc. It was just some kind of magic summer.

@jessicalmcdaniel9878
@jessicalmcdaniel9878 4 месяца назад

I finally showed up with panicles for her, told her to rip them out if they dont make you happy, and i planted the lime light hydrangeas for her. She has finally been so happy. They take the sun, survive the winter, and add beauty to her yard.

One day of rain and their 6' height went to the ground. Knowing they were developed from Annabelles, I wanted to prune them hard, but everyone, and I mean everyone, said take off 1/3 as I did. The patent information said they can be pruned to the ground. Here's hoping they are stronger next year!👍🏻

We have had buckets of rain in the Hudson Valley (6b). I have Pinky Winky planted next to Limelight Prime and Vanilla Strawberry -- Pinky Winky is still standing tall while the other two have flopped. I will be on the lookout for Pinky Winky Prime and Eclipse certainly looks interesting too. I have to spray to deter deer but generally speaking, that works although it seems they have to take a bite or two here and there.

Thanks for helping up my plant-nerd game. 😂 Gotta think finding the abstract to sort through all the new ornamental grasses, annuals like lantana or pentas, Aronia, etc will be very helpful. 🎉

Erin, I loved this video. So informative and exciting. I have about 8 varieties of hydrangeas now but get excited about every new one I hear about. Thank you so much for such a clear description of the various types and how to dig for more information. 💕

Just composted my 'Twist N Shout' and replaced it with the 'Haas Halo' you featured, but I'm still interested in a truly bud hardy lacecap for zone 5.

Thank you for the encouragement and permission to ditch the non-performing plants! I’m always waiting for improvement and realize I’ve been waiting a LONG 4-5 years .

Thank you for this! So helpful. Ive been digging out my old school floppers and slowly replacing them. So satisfying!! I'm tired of the upkeep. Time to plant smarter and not work harder!!

Thank you so much Erin! I have some of the older varieties and some newer ones. You are right if they don’t stand up to your need replace them. I struggled with endless summer and also vanilla strawberry. My best luck so far has been the Annabelle and newer proven winners incrediball. I have a 80 foot hedge that performs fantastic with not much fuss. I also had incredible luck with tiny tidbit. Finding the right one might be trial error but well worth it! I garden in 5a.

Oh, my! An 80' hydrangea hedge! That must have been quite an investment, and a glorious sight to behold each summer!

@@christinaannabel I was done over a few years. We started with Annabelle hydrangea and actually split some to make more. We have since added incrediball in front of them to help keep it from flopping in heavy rains. It was a awesome year for them and only a couple on the end flopped a bit due to a heavy rain and large blooms.

What a helpful video!!!! I’m in zone 10a and the hydrangeas in my zone have not been up to par for sure. I’m hoping they find some heat tolerant ever blooming ones for zone 10a!

This year I have dug up two hydrangeas. They were sold around here. Only bloom on old wood. Thank you for letting me know what I need to look for plant shopping for Hydrangea.

Such great information in this video - thank you. I planted 3 Limelight and 11 Bobo panacle hydrangeas 4 years ago. They are such carefree blooming machines. I really love them. I'm looking for a really small hydrangea that turns pink - Sky View looks good.
