Re: [SG] Hydrangea Care

Joe,
I'm defin. not a "sage", but I have had the same thing happen to me with
hydrangeas the last couple of years in Zone 5.  One in part. H. 'Pia' sounds
just like yours.  It has sat, is about 6" and looks healthy, but no growth.  I
have had others do this the first year planted and have left them in figuring
they will be ok next year and they have.  So, I would just wait and see what
yours looks like next year, sounds like your soil is great. As far as the
'full shade", I would imagine that your full shade is necessary for hydrangeas
down there?  I planted some in full shade (Illinois) and they are long stringy
things looking for light and will have to be moved.

<< hydrangea I planted this
  year. I ordered it from a mail order plant company and so it was very small,
  like a rooted cutting when I got it. It's been in the ground since May and
they
  haven't grown much this year - maybe 4-5 leaves on a plant, no taller than 6
  inches. It gets mostly full shade and the soil I've amended heavily with
  compost over the years. Here is my question. Would this plant benefit by
being
  potted and brought into the house during winter and replanted next spring or
  should I let it die back with the winter and see what happens next year? >>
