Hi Laura! I just bought my first Hydrangea Limelight tree over the weekend and would love to see an update on your Limelights, so it will give me an idea of where to plant mine. Thank you!!
I think I will change my routine to watching your videos in the evenings. It is so relaxing AND I won’t be late to work. When you poshlonger videos - which I LOVE - I always am late to work. But so worth it! 😀
I literally just finished watching the tour with my wife and saw this pop up. I love those limelight’s and I really think they will do awesome. Wish you would have planted them before they bloomed but please do not give up. If they do not do well they will get use to the sun by the first full year. All our panicul hydrangeas from last summer our doing so much better than the first year and are way stronger. We have not had any scorching this year like we had the first year. We are in a zone 8a and they are doing great. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Found the other channel a month ago and this one just now and am loving it. I've had to change and watch the videos after work. I've been late a couple of times 😬 because I so enjoy it. It's like the best book, you gotta keep reading. It's like a bag of potato chips, you gotta finish the bag cause it's sooo good. Same for these videos.. once I start, I have to complete the vision 😂 and watch the WHOLE thing. You are so inspirational and you can tell your heart is in it. I have to absolutely love a channel to SUBSCRIBE and yours was a no brainer. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching. You're such an inspiration. 💝
Hey I didn't know you had the second Channel? I'm so glad I bumped into it. I hope you're able to read my comment. Huge supporter watch you every time you post. Thank you for teaching me things that I kind of knew about but I love being reassured and learning the names of plants. I have a huge green thumb and I can grow anything but you have great info . So anyways My neighbor has the same hydrangea bush/tree in the full sun and it's the same size and in the ground. It's absolutely 100% gorgeous and in full bloom. We are in July and it lasts a long time with the same blooms. I live in Port Orchard Washington 55 minutes away from West Seattle Washington. Yours will do well as well. Hugs from Charlie's chicks Channel.
I LOVE limelights. I am a small flower farmer in No. California and limelights are the star. I have loads of hydrangeas of all colors but these bloom heads get bigger and bigger each year. Mine get very tall even though I do cut them back somewhat each year. My only problem with them? they happen to grown near a light sensor light and on windy nights, the outside lights keep going on!!! Ha Ha
How did I miss this video???? I never miss a video!!!! Anyway, I love the balance on each end of the garden. I do the same thing. They do look perfect there too.
I hope those hydrangeas do good for you they are so beautiful when in bloom. I am just so aggravated right now. Can't decide what I want to plant where. Just moved to a place and we laid grass seed and spread hay over it and some of it came up some didn't. So now we have to go back and try again. Then we have to make a plan about a garden. I want a butterfly garden first then as the years go by make different gardens. Wish me luck. Here in Southern Tennessee. I love what you and Aaron have done with your place.
Man I wish I could have that hydrangea standard! Again, I’ll just garden vicariously through you. Thanks for keeping us posted on the veggie plot evolution my dear!
It is very beautiful! It is amazing that not too long ago there was nothing there! Look at how far it has come. I love the black fence and the arbor with roses is going to make it even more beautiful!
I absolutely love this!!! Hubby doesn't want any trees... But this is what I want at the entrance to my garden. I have been looking at hydrangea standards "quickfire".
I bought two limelight hydrangeas back in May, I probably should have waited to plant them till the fall. I am in Missouri and the spot I picked I thought got enough shade. First year in my home, I was wrong they stressed and I did not move them quick enough and lost them. I will try again but in a different location. Love your garden.
That's exactly what I said!! And Tammy this seems to be a "second" channel. Her main channel is called "garden answer". 🤩 best channel on youtube!! IMO haha
Our Limelight Hydrangea is in full sun and it does GREAT. However, I'm in a different zone than you are Laura (I'm in 6 or 6b depending on which chart you're looking at) and in a different climate (I'm in southwest MI near the lakeshore - so we can get some high temps and high humidity in the summer). Pollinators LOVE these things - at any given time you can find a dozen or more different kinds buzzing around it. Ours is near our garden, too, so that's a bonus!
Your limelight hydrangea trees will do fine in the wind I get strong winds here in Kentucky and I worried about mine but it’s really held up great . Looks really nice where you planted them
GORGEOUS! I have a paniculata by my driveway, gets sun literally ALL DAY, by hot black icky asphalt. It is gigantic. I planted it maybe 10 yrs ago and it was a tiny little thing. Right now, it's reaching the roof of my porch and is about 6-8 feet wide. I pruned the heck out it this year because it was getting nuts, well that just made it grow even bigger. It's going to love it where you planted it. :) Perfect spot. Plant me there, I'll be happy.
I hear that breezes or wind helps newly planted trees settle or stabilize themselves in the ground as they grow! Too much high wind in one direction, may need temporary staking.
Thanks for sharing this! I'm happy to see it the addition to the veggie garden. :). Next year I think I'm also gonna cross my fingers and hope planting some hydrangea in full sun will go okay (2 or 3 to screen an unfortunately-placed power transformer). I'm gulf coast so it gets hot too, but we have TONS of humidity. I was going to try Incrediball but maybe Limelight would be better. I hope these grow for you!!
Did you make a video of your garden fence being installed? I'm planning on doing that soon and would love to see the process before tackling that myself. If not, would love to see the arbors installed. I enjoy the tours of your garden and your parents, too. They are beautiful.
Love the limelight’s, but I must confess I’m a huge, huge hydrangea fan. 😉. So looking forward to the arbor & roses. Must be a true garden junkie! 😉🦋🌸🐝
I thought how did I miss this and I wasn’t subscribed. Was very confused until I opened the drop down. Then went back and saw this has a different name. Anyway I’m subscribed to both now. Love these hydrangeas. 🌸🦋🌸
I planted 2 Limelight standards last fall and they are blooming now. Who doesn't love Limelight. Yours are much bigger than mine. They will look so pretty flanking each side of the veggie garden. BTW - watched the hay rack progress video...OMGoodness they look amazing!!!
My limelight in Newport R.I. in zone 6 I had in full sun for years has done very well. It's still going strong at my parents yard. I'm going to try one here in Alabama zone 8.
Hi laura. I was wondering if you had any videos on lavender. How to maintain them. We have some in the garden (french munstead) that have gone really woody and would love to replace them and start again but would love to know when and how to prune them correctly. Thank you for all your great videos I've learnt so much from them.
Laura do you keep a map of your garden. If you do can you share with your fans! I love this area and would like to copy if I could. Looks like an English Garden, it’s just beautiful! And can you create a contest so we can try to win a Garden Answer T-shirt please.
Wow beautiful! How are the hydrangea trees doing in full sun, do you still have them there? Thinking of putting one of these in tree form in full sun as well! I'm in Wisconsin Zone 5! Thanks love your channel!!! Thanks!
Wondering how the limelight hydrangeas did in that full sun location? I’m currently considering where to place mine and not sure if another Oregon heatwave will burn it up. Last summer we got up to 113 for a couple days!
In one of you videos you have Helleborus outside your kitchen window edged with small boxwood. Love the look. Could you tell me what type of boxwood they are and do you keep them trimmed that size Thank you. Love your videos.
Regarding your gofers why not put a section of wire mesh below and around the planting hole leaving space for root growth . Hopefully they won’t know through the wire
What if your leaves start falling off from the bottom up(wilted and turned yellow)? I planted two of these and one isn't doing to well. I am trying to bring it back and is my focus these past weeks. I have blooms(never turned white) maybe 4 node leaves on each branch remain. Check the soil moisture each day (worried I maybe overwatered them). I did plant both in extreme heat so it may be still stressed.
Hi Laura help please my new planted hydrangea tree like yours is in this high humidity in NY for three days and the leaves are looking turned . Im hoping its need was just water and tips?
what do you do for hydrangeas that have leaned too much and are growing side ways? is there a way to fix it? also can I make its color change to deep wine? they are white right now
P.S. just watched the video when you planted the limelight hydrangea trees. How did they make out in the location by your vegetable garden. I have an area that gets full sun and can be windy. Would live to plant one there. Are they deer resistant? Thank you.
I would think leaving the terra cotta planters in there gives a fresh look, its beautiful with it either way but to me it gives it a different look to break up the green in the garden to a," not so much green" in the Garden. How can I find Lavender plants to transplant for my newbie garden ? Home depot don't have them in stock and I do not want to order it to get in them in the mail. I live in the 'Hood, and I would NEVER never see the plants arrive via USPS, LOl
Venice Mitchell Home Depot does carry lavender. Maybe you might have to either order online or at the store and pick up directly from there if there are none in stock. You can also visit local nurseries to get some from there. If you order from a place online for delivery, ask USPS to hold your mail and you can pick the box up from your post office instead of it sitting on your porch.
My limelight was planted a long time ago. It gets full afternoon sun an has done well. You are plagued by gophers we are plagued by groundhogs. He has been eating my tomatoes no matter what I do.
