I have decided, after just recently finding your channel, and specifically taking notes on your hydrangeas, the next one I will add on my property is the fire light standard. I just purchased my first hydrangea 2 weeks ago (a phantom paniculata standard), and it's already shooted out, and I just noticed the flower buds starting today. I'm so excited to watch it grow. I absolutely love the fall colour of the firelight, so I do plan to add that one, in tree form, one year soon. Thanks for all your great videos.

Tracy your garden is absolutely stunning. I love hydrangeas and I have quite a few types in my garden but they don't produce the beautiful pink colors like yours in zone 9b. My husband propagated panicle hydrangeas from cutting but they don't survive. Will try your technique. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙂
@TracysHomeGarden
@TracysHomeGarden 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much….in zone 9b, to get the beautiful fall color will be very difficult as temps are usually too warm for the color to develop. The best hydrangeas varieties are plants that bloom later like the Little Lime hydrangea….another technique that also helps is by pruning your plant in June in order to push blooming back to September just as temps start to cool down in your zone. I tried that on my Bobo (in container in the back garden) and was able to get more beautiful color on their blooms than the plants in the ground. Perhaps I will show this on video next year. All the best making more hydrangeas BG. 💚🙏🪴

Hi Tracy, thank you so much for showing how to divide panicle hydrangea! I just dug up my little limelight hydrangea and split it in the middle into two plants. I’m very happy with the result but I was curious to know if it will eventually fill in and grow on the split side too? I heard that with some bushes it won’t grow suckers on the split side..

I've only grown them for the past 4 years, so I'm a bit afraid I'll kill them if I'm not extremely careful. Will you please do a video showing us how to collect hydrangea seeds and how to get them to germinate?

The plant on the left is Lavalamp Flare (conical panicles)…to the right of it is the Firelight (original). The Lavalamp was supposed to be 2-3 ft (on tag) so I planted it there a few years ago. As it turn out, it grows to more than 4ft tall for me and now it is too big for that space so I’m thinking of moving it back but it looked so beautiful there last season that I’m still contemplating to transplant or not. Those two are some of the most beautiful plants for beautiful fall colours. Hope you find them in your area to plant in your garden.

Oh no, I find that hydrangeas do well in our climate. However, it’s the roses, penstemons and zinnias that get bothered by pests and high humidity in May-June then September-October. If you have high humidity, I would plant mostly paniculata/panicle hydrangeas and avoid Macrophyllas. Panicle hydrangeas fair better under high humidity and heat. Also, delay pruning until June will help avoid the panicles from burning under intense July-August sun. All the best Nancy. 🙏🪴💚

I actually only feed the hydrangeas with compost: 1-3 cups per plants depending on size. New plants get 1-2, larger plants get 2-3 cups. I also add about 3” of mulch on every spring. In addition to that, I add 2” of leaf compost on the entire garden bed every 3 years (avoiding salvias, nepeta, sedums, etc…these don’t need compost and do better in poor soil).

Tracy - I am a beginner gardener, and I think I made a terrible mistake. I would appreciate your advice. I am trying to get into composting. I even purchased 3 bins, which were quite a hit to my budget. But I was willing to make the investment now for future gains in the form of good compost. I watched a ton of videos, and I learned that you need browns for carbon and greens for nitrogen. But no one warned us that you should not compost English Ivy, because it will continue to grow! I had pruned the ivy under my magnolia tree and threw it in the compost as a nitrogen source. After finishing all that YESTERDAY, I find out today that I should not have put in the ivy. Now I think I have to go in and pull all the ivy out of 3 bins. I am a senior with reactive arthritis. Do you know if trying to pull all the ivy out is my only alternative?
