Hydrangea


Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla (Hortensia))

I took this out of cold storage 10 days ago and it's already developing flower buds. I've had this hydrangea less than a year and it has already flowered twice. I'd plant it outside if I could but this one isn't cold hardy here.

Thanks, I always thought hydrangeas would be hard as house plants but this one has been very easy-going!

Are you going to keep it as a house plant, as they are normally an out door plant, or will you be weathering it off this year and put out side.

It's not very cold hardy here so I have to keep it as a house plant. I'll put it outside in Spring and leave it until it goes dormant but then it'll go back in my basement for a few months.

Yes its best if you don't have the weather for it at least it will be safe,
