Deer love hydrangeas
I love this
Once a week on a 100 f climate
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU 😊
I bought a hydrangea from a nursery. They said it was called Fred and wished me good luck with him.
Yes this particular one looked very miserable and hanged it's head until I gave him a drink and then he
raised up again and came back to life but he did need regular watering.
Deer eat Annabelle hydrangeas
I don't mean to be critical, but I hope whoever watches this does your research because a lot of hydrangeas are NOT easy to grow and require LOTS of water (that's why they're called "hydra"-ngeas) and depending on what zone you live in, you could be watering them every day in order to keep them alive. Many of them are also very picky about their sun requirements. So, maybe watch a few more videos before growing 🙂
I have killed three in three years. Quite an expense.
I'm getting to grips with them. I bought some cheap ones from Lidl and they died when In planted them in my garden, but that's because of the poor quality soil, etc. I have planted others in the right compost and they are thriving now. I replanted some I had in the front garden in the back and pruned them, etc and they are flowering again!
Very simple and informative, but there's no need to keep saying hydrangea every few seconds. We know what plant you're dealing with!
The less you care about your hydrangea, the better chances it will survive. Ha! we moved some dying, hydrangeas in a shady area and forgot about them. It wasn’t even a flower bed, just good dirt some camellias were growing in. Watered them for the first couple weeks after we moved them but then literally forgot about them. Two years later, we have big blue beautiful blooms. The two major changes we made that I believe contributed to its success: keeping them away from a sprinkler system and throwing kitchen scraps in the dirt nearby. Search “trench composting” for a similar technique. No need for expensive fertilizer. They used to be pink, but the blue is largely due to a tremendous amount of horse manure nearby.
I only like growing blue flowers so I wanted blue hydrangeas. I put them in the shade on half barrel planters to be able to control the soil acidity easily. It was so not easy! I had to give them aluminum sulfate and acid every day to keep them from changing colors! In the summer I had to water them every day to keep them from wilting! Never again! Only in rainy Seattle in acidic soil can one have blue hydrangeas with minimal effort!
I keep killing mine, will they survive in zone 8?

Shooting Star Hiedranges
I always buy the sad ones on clearance and nurse them back to health. It's a good challenge and i am in zone 7/8.
How is it drought resistant, mine wilts without regular watering.
I took a shot of whisky everytime I heared hydrreaaannngeasssh… And made till minute… I don't remember 😂
I live in eastern Ontario (Canada) and I need to protect my hydrangea's as the flower buds are coming out because the deer here (white-tailed deer) will eat them!
