Steph when my day lilys start looking ratty I just cut them down. Some times harshly with a weed wacker or mower. They spring right back and look new like an ornamental grass.

@janeta2559 Жыл бұрын

I’m fascinated by that idea. My yellow day lillies are just done blooming and I have a wonderful hedge of the on the back side of my oak tree with proven winner begonias in front with a little grouping of mini hostas right around the tree. But it takes quite awhile to go in and clean them all up. It looks really nice but if you can simply cut them down and have them flush back that seems much easier

@kathys9999 Жыл бұрын

There are a lot of disappointed people who think full sun means ... FULL SUN. Therefore I think the plant tags on all these hydrangeas need to be more descriptive, such as zone 2-7 zones 5-7 plant in afternoon shade. I would hate to see any hydrangea in FULL sun in my Missouri summer sun... maybe a cactus lol

You might want to save some of the day lilies. You can hide them behind evergreens and only the blooms will peek out. I moved most of mine to the woods edge where they get little sun. They bloom fine (if the deer don’t get them).

@HookedandRooted 3 ай бұрын

Hi there! Little limes are great (I have a drift/hedge of 3), they get to be 3-5ft tall and wide. Depending on how much space you have would depend on how many to plant. If you want them to fill in as a grouping or stand alone as a focal point plant. If you needed a smaller panicle hydrangea, i planted some firelight tidbits last season on this video you commented on. Hope this helps 🌱

Hello, i live in Ga. Been almost a 100 degrees everyday here. But i have the lime light hydrangeas and they just grow really tall and what few blooms i get they just lay on the ground. Do you know when to trim? Not to trim. to get blooms that will stand up and not just look like any ole green bush? Thanks so much

@HookedandRooted 11 ай бұрын

Hi Holly! I usually prune my little limes end of winter beginning of spring. So sometimes in March, usually. I mostly prune off all of the real twiggy growth that couldn't support the weight of those big bloom heads. I think they take some time to firm up and become stronger, the stems. But Over time it should get less floppy as the shrub grows and ages. With that said, even though my little limes are over 3 years in ground now, I still get some flopping with heavy rains. The blooms are so large that they hold on to lots of water, and so once they become weighted down, they hang low. After it rains you can gently shake off some of the excess water, and as they shrub dries, most of the hanging branches start to perk up again. Getting enough sun can also help them stay more upright, and hydrangeas in general like water. Are yours getting enough water during those warm temps? They could be drooping from heat too. Some things to consider. Hope this helps.
