Hi Kembely:
While I do not claim to be an expert, I have a rather extensive collection
of many types of hydrangeas. I have found that they are extremely durable
plants and can take an awful lot of abuse.
For example, a number of years ago, I bought a Hydrangea serrata x
macrophylla 'Preziosa' on sale in late fall. Well, I never got around to
planting it until late November and had also failed to water it in the pot.
When I went to plant it, the ground was partially frozen and the soil in the
container was so hard, I literally could not loosen the soil with a pick ax.
Nevertheless, I plopped it the meager hole, figuring nothing good would come
of the plant and I would deal with the corpse in the spring.
Today, this hydrangea is probably one of my favorites and is more than
triving. I've dubbed it my "cement Hydrangea".
Plant your hydrangea.....It will most likely be fine!
