Introducing the Early-Blooming Hydrangeas 

I love hydrangeas. I can’t stop buying more❤

OMG, My Summer Crush are my Favorite 😍😍Have a total of 6 in my garden..they start early May and continue to bloom until frost.

Two of the three Little Lime Punch I planted this spring have been blooming here in Zone 6b for weeks. They are currently a lovely cream color. I am looking forward to seeing how they color up as the season progresses. Thank you for the very thoughtful and informative survey. Even if you have a longer season than Northern Michigan, it is nice to have hydrangeas flowering over a long period. Hydrangeas provide so much garden value for the price of the plant! I have been planting a lot of oakleaf hydrangeas in my wooded areas. They are another early and spectacular bloomer for us and, if happy where they are planted, very easy care. They are also natives and I basically just let them do their thing. Our biggest problem with non-remontant macrophyllas is the deer eating all the buds!

Excellent info. Bobo has been a great performer for me in zone 6b. Just got a Quick Fire and hope it doesn’t overwhelm its location. I’ve never planted a large variety. Lol it looks good in my head!

Limelight is ALWAYS late to the party😂😂 In Jersey (7A zone) my limelight don't start to bloom until last week in July/ early August

I’m in zone 6A. Summer Crush has been an disappointment. They bloomed nicely in the first two years, then they died. However, Quick Fire, Limelight, Endless Summer Original never disappointed us. Tuff Stuff was good for three years, then stopped blooming. I’m all in for panicle Hydrangeas. I just bought 11 of them. They will replace the roses that only bloomed for a month in early summer. Not worthy. I will simplify my garden next year: hydrangeas play the theme with coneflowers and zinnias filling up the gaps between hydrangeas. Of course, the evergreens will stay between the hydrangeas too.

Bobo isn’t an early bloomer in my garden- at least not early like Quick Fire. I’d say mine is behind Fire Light.

My Little Quick Fire, bought online from Home Depot. 2 Gal 3rd Summer now. I pruned it kind of late, but the stems were quite Leafy so I just stuck 7 of them in cells under the grow lights. No hormone powder I did not trim the leaves. 4 of them are still green and lush. 2 have blooms on them. I probably should cut those off, but I just let them do what they want. If I end up with just 2 living next year I will a happy camper. It has been 8 weeks.☺ Zone 6A 50 miles north of Indy my bush is covered with blooms. About 4 feet wide and 3 ft. tall now.

Gorgeous! You have one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve seen 🤩!

Oh my gosh! I need to visit. I've been missing the large nurseries downstate. The local garden centers don't carry a large selection of Proven Winners.

Have a little lime curbside hedge on its 3rd summer. Perfect for 7B Oklahoma. In bloom for almost 3 weeks.

Thank you for sharing!! I love ❤️ hearing more about beautiful hydrangea!!!

Thank you. Very helpful

Do you think I could train my pop star hydrangea to grow into a tree?

Loving my hydrangeas in Zone 7. Unfortunately we don't get the vivid pink colors in our hot humid summers.

I am in zone 8. I have Bobo hydrangeas. This is my first year with them. Do I cut them completely back in winter?

Very helpful video. Thanks!

I am warning two of my hydrangea’s too. If you guys don’t flower you’ll be out in the garbage periodt I hope they hear me

Thank you so much. I learned so much today about hydrangeas.

Beautiful...I've just planted a Classic 'ANNABELLE' hedge as we don't have the new and improved 'INCREDIBALL' here in Australia.

Hi for the lets dance can do and arriba, did you protect them over winter (e.g. cover with burlap, chicken wire cage w/ leaves or straw)?

I've just purchased a serrata hydrangea, you mentioned it but didn't actually shown any serrata's which was disappointing

I only have 1 hydrangea, ive had it for about 20 years. It hadn't bloomed yet this tsummer, it dont even have buds on it. I live in zone 6. It came a very late frost this spring Killed it plum back. I forgot to cover it up with my white sheet. It blooms on old wood, so its not going to bloom at all this summer. It's ok, has done this a few times in the past. Its huge and all leafed out, lush and green. I'll be keeping a close watch on it next spring. Its got all colors on it. Cream, green, purple, blue and pink. Great video, thank you for sharing all these beautiful hydrangeas with us and all the great information ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm glad I found your channel. I thought something was wrong with my Pinky Winky because it hasn't bloomed (mid July) and it's just a bunch of leaves, but you mentioned it is a late bloomer and sure enough I just noticed a bloom starting. Thank you,

great video!

The Fire Light tid bit that I planted last autumn, has yet to bloom in my zone 6 garden. It’s perfectly healthy with a lot of leafing out. Why isn’t it blooming for me this summer?

I have a large deck on the north side of my house. Can I put a multi-colored hydrangea "hedge" (similar to your parent's house) across the front of it? Will they bloom nicely on the north side?

HI, what do you think of quick fire fab?
