Hydrangea vine


Hydrangea vine (Hydrangea anomala (Climbing hydrangea))

The flowers on this have peaked just in time, I am digging it up and moving it within a couple of weeks. It has a huge root system on it, bigger than some of the 6' shrubs I have moved.

Sounds like quite a challenge!

The only reason I know how big it is is because I planted it last summer. I got it as a potted plant and didn't want to put it in the back of my truck for a 3 hour drive so I had to jam it in the cab. I have a regular cab 1/2 ton truck and it literally filled the entire passenger side of my truck it was so large! I counted the plants I have potted to move yesterday and the total *just in pots, not counting the ones still in the ground or already moved* is 172!

I can only plant so many at a time so every time I go over there I take some with me. I am putting up a fence around the entire yard because the deer destroy EVERYTHING where I am moving. I'm trying not to move too many plants until I can get the fence done. The plants I have been moving are either close enough to the house or plants the deer don't generally go for, especially during the summer when they have other things to eat.

It's a major strategic operation! Almost like one of those problems - how many trips to take the fox chicken and corn across the river when only One item can go in the boat at once?

Oh my goodness! You have your work cut out for you!
