I have to cut back all the dead shoots/ branches.

I simply used a rich potting soil that retains moisture and added a few inches of mulch on top so it should be fine it in this pot.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-75816850094329105702013-05-28T11:41:42.255-07:002013-05-28T11:41:42.255-07:00That's surprising since it's supposed to b...That's surprising since it's supposed to be hardy to zone 5.

Ha ha.<br /><br />Even though I didn't plant this hydrangea until March, I bought it last fall so it's already received plenty of tap water. So far so good. I'll definitely let you know how it goes.<br /><br />P.S. I got it at Lemuria Nursery in Dixon. 1-gallon plants are $5.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-10504135615137381842013-05-28T10:11:27.792-07:002013-05-28T10:11:27.792-07:00Do an update on this towards the end of summer, Ge...Do an update on this towards the end of summer, Gerhard. I suspect our lousy water will do a number on the leaves and they will brown badly around the edges. If not, I'll try to pick one up myself!

My first ...I really prefer the lacecap blooms too!<br /><br />My first thought was: how are you going to keep that plant hydrated and happy? I have a couple of in-ground hydrangeas, and they require supplemental water even here. Looks lovely there though!Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-14251997984108880262013-05-28T01:44:29.629-07:002013-05-28T01:44:29.629-07:00It's a lovely variegated Hydrangea, tried twic...It's a lovely variegated Hydrangea, tried twice in our garden but it never thrives for some reason.
