A beautiful black gardener - I have no choice but to stan!! 🤩🤩❤️

I love it! I have 6 hydrangeas I rescued from the clearance dumping shelf. Seriously, they just stacked a bunch of "dead" plants, parked the shelves all the way in back of the garden center of Walmart, I was like omg, these are just neglected, they're not beyond saving! So, yep, they were just waiting for Ms Cheapo (me) to (stubbornly) nag them back to health. And they've rewarded me with years of beauty & happiness! I even scored a "Pistachio" & a "Cityline Paris" this way!

I don’t know why, but I love the way you say, “Bloom” 🍃🌸🍃

Just rescued 4 little limes today at Lowes. I gave them all water and a hug :-)

I just picked up 40 hydrangeas yesterday. The blue store recvd their fall shipment. Needed to clear the shelves. Manager said if I would take all of them I could have them for $6.00 each. I shop at this store regularly. Im going back tmrw for other discount plants. So exciting.

I love your passion for gardening.

I bought 25 Endless Summer hydrangeas on clearance for $7. Thank goodness I ignored the tag and gave them morning sun...don't want to dig those holes so soon. Thanks for the info.

Wow, thank you so much for this, from a fellow OHD sufferer. Obsessive Hydrangea Disorder! 😂

you saved me money by having faith in the scorched and neglected. asking nicely about a discount netted me 4 quickfires at $5 a piece; $18.98 originally. gifted 3 and saved one for myself. drenched and planted with biotone. keep it up, love the hat!

Congrats on 4,000! You were mentioned on the proven winners Facebook group this week when people were recommending YT channels. Was so happy to see that! I'll be sure to recommend you as well!

I've become Hydrangea obsessed since watching your videos, when I come home with a clearance dead plant, my husband looks at me with worried eyes...i tell him he will see next year how beautiful they will be...he yet doesn't believe me! Lol!😁

Omg I love u!! I just bought my 1st hydrangea and the tag said full sun! LIE!!! I almost burnt it up totally so I followed my gut n moved it....doing great now. I also learned to get blue blooms u must have acidic soil for it. Aluminum sulfate works great! Oh and new subber!!!

Ty for doing this video. Love to see a "real"" person on tips.

I appreciate this video! I just saved a hydrangea bush from someone who dug it out their yard. I’m a beginner but I’m going to try my best to save it. I’ve already done the things you said to do and the one I saved didn’t look as bad as the first one you showed so I’m hopeful. 😄 Thank you!

Wow your subs are getting up there. I love that you bring all the neglected plants home and bring them back to their former glory. Great video.😊

i almost always fast forward when vloggers talk in the beginning but the way you talk about your plants and how to nurture and love them was so captivating!! you and your plants are absolutely beautiful, love the video!

I've been afraid to buy hydrangeas because I thought they were hard to grow. I'll give them a try with your advice. Thanks for sharing!!

Your love of gardening is inspirational. Thank you.

I just bought a pink hydrangea in honor of my grandmother who loved them and I'm so emotionally attached. I noticed that she definitely does not like afternoon sun because she is droopy now and a little wilty - so I will move her to the other side of my apartment and give her lots of water and shade. Thank you for your helpful video!!!!

I agree, you are not only hydrangeas informative, you are genuine & beautiful.

You have a magic touch with hydrangeas. I planted 3 pink hydrangeas last year. My first hydrangeas ever. Well in March of this year I cut 2 of the plants back because all the stems looked dead. Yep, those 2 are very bushy and growing very big but no flowers. The third uncut hydrangea is flowering pink but is little. Yes, lesson learned. Dumb luck, I did plant them in the correct flower bed where they all get morning sun and afternoon shade. I water them when the leaves look a little droopy. Thank you for this video and all of your knowledge.

I watched a video of yours about a year ago to take care of dying clearance plants and I have been using your tips and I couldn't be any happier. I have shared your tips about hydrogen peroxide while shopping at the big box store in the clearance with others.

When you showed your table of dead plants my mouth dropped. HOW can these be brought back to life?? lol (you are a talented gardener thank you for sharing!!)

I just bought 2 clearance Hydrangeas. I’m so excited to see what they will look like next season. Thank you sister! Much love!

I've just discovered your channel- I TOTALLY LOVE IT! I've been working an expanded Hydrangea bed in my garden - about to plant it up- some plants saved, some grown on from cuttings-very exciting. You can never have too many Hydrangeas ! ❤️❤️❤️ from Australia 🌞🌞🌞

I like your enthusiasm. Fun to watch your excitement over getting a good knock down price on a living plant. Sort of like payback for some of the deaths that inevitably happen. Also, I find hydrangeas needing partial shade. So placing them is really important.

I watched your previous videos on shopping for discounted plants. Today I bought 2 hydrangeas plants on discount $5 each from $15. I watered/soaked them and will be planting them tomorrow. Now I just watched this video and so glad I'm learning by your teaching me how to care for outdoor plants. I'm very good with indoor plants but learning about outdoor plants now that I have a garden. Blessings from a Chilean woman in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada 🇨🇱🇨🇦🥰😘💜💙⚘🌻💚👍

Thank you hydrangea doctor for all the great info .

Thank you for posting this video!!! I’m just now growing my green thumb in LA and your video stopped me from throwing out my Hydrangea haha. I loved the information and your passion and style as you delivered it.

Thanks! Just bought my first hydrangea (clearance🤫) and your video had all the info I've been looking for. Very much appreciated 👍

I love hydrangeas! I moved from Kentucky to Michigan and was surprised that they are able to grow up here! I've purchased Endless Summer for both their bloom capacity and ability to take on all day sun in cooler climates. This is my first year trying them up here! Your videos are wonderfully informative! Thanks!

The most helpful video I've seen for Hydrangeas

I'm so impressed with what you find on the clearance racks. I've have found just a few PW plants and lots of annuals, but nothing big like a hydrangea. Goals! Keep up the great videos.

Love all of your videos! You have inspired me to start overhauling my long neglected flower beds. And, I will never pass by another garden center clearance section again without searching for a few treasures! You are super cute, with a lovely personality, watching your videos is pure joy!

Good morning! You and a few others I watch on KZfaq are a force WITH nature :)! inspired me to keep a lookout for clearance plants. Yesterday, I was in Wal-Mart. Wasn't expecting anything (early in the season) and there they were... EIGHT half-dead hydrangea plants with about two small hydrangea in each little decorative box. They were obviously meant for folks to buy them for Mother's Day gifts. About 10.00 a piece. Half the blooms were brown, drooping leaves and blooms. Told the manager he wouldn't be able to sell these at full price like this. I got them 10% off!!! Brought them home, gave them all a trim and watered them well. By this morning... they had perked right up! So, planting them today or tomorrow in a flower bed I wasn't going to work until next year. lol This was a gold mine. 8 young hydrangea plants neglected and left for dead and will fill that flower bed with color very soon! :) Thank you for all of your videos that inspire me and so many others!

I ALSO head straight to the clearance racks at Home Depot and Lowe's ESPECIALLY now when the shrubs and perennials are marked down. Although I'm a huge fan of "Garden Answer", I'm so glad I found your channel because I can relate, in more ways than one! I often tell people, I traded my stilettos, for gardening tools and pretty garden shoes and boots! Keep up the good work!

You are inspiring me to get some “dying “ plants! Thank you for making these !

I just planted my first hydrangea and it doesnt seem to be too happy right now lol. The leaves are turning yellow on the inner, newer ones and some of the outside leaves are just drying out and dying off. It is a vanilla strawberry, and I am beyond excited for it to bloom. I also live in zone 6b so I am soo happy I found your channel!

Great video - I wish I’d found it earlier when I was freaking out about my hydrangeas. I don’t know what kind I have and I was so confused about new/old wood. I pretty much ended up doing what you recommend - trying to not overthink it and letting them be til spring. They look good now and I was able to do a light pruning that I don’t think will cost me any blooms. But if I’d seen your video back in fall/winter it sure would’ve given me peace of mind! I really enjoy your videos, btw. I’m a clearance queen too!

This is my first time here and I just have to say, you are beautiful!!!!!

Thank you!! I was doing most of this correctly but just not drenching in water. Sssooo, just watered the hell outta my endless summer hydrangeas bc I haven’t been doing that regularly at all. Love your videos, keep up the good work 🙌

Your gardening tips have helped me revive my dying plants. I'm so grateful for your expertise!

Thank you so much!! Love to see another Gardner getting after it in a zone 6b!!

I live in the UK. Just found this channel via Google and ❤❤❤ it.

Thank you beautiful lady! I am new to gardening. I have my first house. I bought 3 hydrangeas and they look terrible. One of them I thought was dead. But, I didn't throw her out because it was killing me to do it. She has some new leaves!

I'm glad I found your video! I just got 4 Summer Crush hyrdanegas for free as they were just about to be tossed out. I hope with a little bit of TLC, they will be thriving next year!

I love your video. As a new upstart youtuber I can appreciate how long it take to edit and post a garden segment. I never realized how time consuming it is and how you watch with anticipation daily for that new subscriber . By the way you have a new one today...ME...THE GARDEN NOOB

You made me like hydrangeas

I have seven young hydrangeas and am trying to learn as much as possible for their success. Thanks for your informative videos. You make easy to learn from you. Love your videos and beautiful garden.

Sale tables are the best. I've got my eyes on a few Invincibelle Limetta at my local garden center and wasn't sure how to revive them, now I know. I think I'll run by today and pick them up. Thanks for this video.

I don't normally comment on videos but I couldn't help. Love seeing a black woman into plants. I'm a novice but I love planting everything. And most of my friends think I'm crazy for being into plants so much.2seconds in I subscribed. Can't wait to explore more of your channel.

Thank you very helpful I found a new hobby where I just buy dying plants or save any plant they trow away I love to see plants recuperating and blooming beautifully

Thank you so much for this info. Idk how many times I keep coming back to this video to remind me how to care for my clearance hydrangea.

Just bought some Firelight Hydrangeas that are nearly dead off the clearance rack. Thanks for your advice and helping me rescue them!!

I appreciate this video….I purchased big leaf hydrangeas in pink, blue from a big box store and haven’t been able to plant right away, and this video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot. Subscribed!

I was referred to you by my Uber passenger. We was discussing gardening and he suggested your channel ❤

Thanks so much for all the helpful info. I have ZERO knowledge of flowers or care and I’m pretty new to this. I bought a hydrangea and it wilted so bad the next day (I’m in full sun zone 9a 9b) I thought placing it north in my patio would help it get morning sun but it got scorched. Learned so much from this thanks again

I like how you have a comforting teaching voice-not too fast/not to slow. Your words are thought out so well...I remember your words...it guides me in my yard w success. T y!

Thanks for the video. I have a black thumb, but I bought a house where the previous owner loved flowers, and I inherited some beautiful stargazer lilies, gladioli, roses and a couple of hydrangeas. They are the big leaf variety. One is in partial shade and is doing fantastic, but the other gets too much sun and got scorched when I didn’t start watering it fast enough when it stopped raining and the summer heat kicked in (I’m in 8b in Vancouver WA). You give me hope that I might be able to bring it back next season. I have been watering it and I do see a little new growth in the back, so it’s not completely dead.

Thank you for the video! I just saved a couple of little limes this morning. Happy spring to you!

Your videos have been so helpful and simple. I’m pretty new to gardening and trying to find out what works best for my zone and capabilities. New subscriber.

also, I love your video, I seen a few people on Amazon leaving horribly bad reviews for Proven Winners Hydrangeas....saying that their plant is completely dead etc....if only they seen your video. who would have thought you can revive most hydrangeas from the dead!.

Just watched this old video. You look so beautiful and happy and gave great advice. Thanks

Your such a great teacher. I've been watching and learning. 🌷🌻❤

Sooooo, hydrangeas in pots love and require a lot of watering. Try also become somewhat root bound in a pot in growth is high - which is why they need watered so much in pots and containers - not enough soil remains and water runs right through and drains out and there’s not enough soil to remain wet for long in between waterings especially when you add in high temps, evaporation, wind. Hydrangeas do love full sun but they need irrigated heavily when in the full sun while requiring very well-drained soil. If you have a flower bed with hydrangeas and other plants in it and you already have a drip irrigation system hooked up, you’d need to go behind the drip and water the hydrangeas a second time. This keeps them from burning in the sun. Watering as early as possible in the day helps too because they can have full “water tanks” So to speak, before the brutal peak of temps come upon them. This is especially true the first year they are planted. And second. And during any extreme droughts - like we experienced where I am this summer. Hydrangeas cannot stand sitting in swampy or damp soil for any amount of time. In June my area had intense rainfall for the entire month and established hydrangeas had a horrible time blooming if they ever did because all nutrients washed away from beds but also they sat wet for practically a month. If flower beds and yards collected water near them where a homeowner wasn’t area because we hadn’t had rain like this before, they were not happy - drains, gutters, run off, clay or saturated soil and bad drainage and smaller root systems all equaled a hydrangea nightmare especially for ones in part sun or mostly shade. Proven winners website: “This extremely durable, long-lived plant is easy to grow. It likes full sun in cold climates, afternoon shade in warmer ones, but it does require well-drained soils that do not remain soggy for any amount of time. “

Thank you so much. I learned so much watching your video than what I’ve learned by googling for hours.

Omg! I saw this video last fall and last week was my chance. I saw a whole shelf of wilted hydrangeas and other shrubs like lilac and spirea, and azaleas and they all were discounted for me to about 3$ per plant and they normally were 20 a piece. They are now looking like normal and will be happy in my garden! 😊

Thank you! Just got one for mother's day from my sons, now I have hope,because the flowers have dried out. Thanks again!!

Thank you for these inspiring videos..after watching your videos got limelight & pinky winky hydrangeas from Hone depot for half the price. What a saving..Thank you ones again 🙏🏼

where you talk about flowers you suddenly become so fluent haha, queen of flowers

Well done. I'm going out to take a close look at my hydrangeas.

Ps forgot to mention well done on 4 thousand sub why because you speak to us NOT down plus your a GT teacher 🌹🌹🐞🐦👍👍👍👍👍👍

My plants (& me) are TIRED of this Alabama heat! Love the video 🌻🌿

Stay being yourself, you seemed nervous. Most gardeners or wannabe gardeners are kind loving people who particularly are genuinely not superficial do not change. Snubbed before 1k youre now 4k. Congratulations love bug

Oh, I just found you, I’m so happy. Great video. You have a presence and a sweet voice. Can’t wait to see more videos.

I finally found the answer I was looking for! They’re not full sun!! Thank you so much! I was really worried about my endless summer hydrangea.

I just found five quick fire hydrangeas Lowe's. Gorgeous from Clarence and I'm getting ready to take care of my baby and love them so they can show off me next year. Feeling great. Thanks for the encouragement

I just got 2 hydrangeas for $12 each - not a huge sale, but on sale!

Thank you so much!! I repotted my hydrangea and kept it fairly dry bc that’s what the tag said!! I just gave them a good drink so I hope they thrive again

Thank so much! I love these plants but lack the knowledge to care them so they can thrive. You've given me a lot of confidence. 👍🏿

I bought some really badly beat up hydrangeas with a noble dream to have them bloom beautifully one day and I really needed that pep talk in the beginning 🥺❤️

Hi dear☺️my goal was to buy hydrangeas to go across the ten foot horizontal abyss in front of one of my church buildings. After watching your videos I had the confidence to look for some at LOWES. OMGOODNESS 🥰I found 5 on the clearance rack marked down to $12.50 from $24.50….. but wait!!!! 2 of them were in pretty bad condition….. I mean like really baaaaad☺️but I trust YOU and God☺️when I went to checkout the manager said I could have alllllll of them for $35. $7 bucks a piece. I think you should be proud of me😂😂😂♥️♥️ I was thinking about you the whole time putting them in my car. I live in Philly. It’s going to be too hot this week for me to put them in the ground….diggin holes and all…..soooooo my question is “Will they be ok for about a week sitting in water??” They are root bound and pretty dry. Thank you.

Thank you for making a statement about that big leaf hydrangeas can't stand more sun than 3-4 hours in the morning - yes, it's very misleading, and I'm sure many beginner gardeners fail with macrophyllas because of that. Just put them in a place, where they enjoy a few sunny hours in the morning, then they get shade, and they will thrive! :)

Even though I’m in zone 5 in Nova Scotia , Canada, I am learning a lot from your channel. Love it

Thank you for all your tips, you’re amazing! Please include a “PART 2” addressing the black spots on the leaves and how to treat them. I’m not sure if it is fungus or pest but most of the ones I see at local shops have it. Earlier this summer I bought three (2sandy summer, 1 Fuji) hydrangeas at Lowe’s and are all dying (Sadly I paid full price). Now that I have found your channel, i have been taking better care of them. But the new leaves are also turning brown... I don’t know what to do because I keep cutting them back and the leaves keep getting “infected” . Your help will be greatly appreciated. Blessings! Ps: it is not due to over sun exposure. I keep them in afternoon shade.

Congratulations on 4,000 subscribers! It is so great to see another gardener in the city. We love our gardens too! You have great taste and I love your style. Have a great weekend!

Very good advice. My hydrandgeas are looking good. I cant wait till the bloom again.

Congrats on nearly 4K subs! Awesome care guide, I have my eye on some hydrangea standards at my Lowe’s. Waiting for them to be placed on clearance 🌺🌺

Thank you for including both types of Hydrangeas! I have the second one and it’s wilting a bit, I just repotted, maybe that’s why? I don’t mind letting it heal and waiting until next season, as long as they bloom beautifully again 🥰

I placed them in morning sun. First just let me say. Sam's Club had green fusion Hydrangeas and some where beautiful. Most looked dead. The manager said 50% off of $22. Ok, cool. But The Hubster called me and I didn't go back for the flowers. A week later got 2 for $7 each. The video helped me soo. Thank you

I believe deeply that you are the fairy of hydrangea. You can save any hydrangea with your finger tip 🧚🏾"give water time and love" from🥀to🌼✨

You were so right about soaking them overnight

Thank you so helpful I have always loved hydrangeas and while delivering mail see them everywhere. I am just landscaping now and found 4 half price one of them looked beyond help but I didnt want to leave it behind. They are big leaf variety and I have perfect morning sun afternoon shade spot for them thanks to you.

You won me. Very informative. Here in San Antonio, where temps have been in the triple digits, sometimes I have to water twice a day. Just starting with hydrangeas. Have to find some shady spots.

I had no idea you had a KZfaq page!! This video showed up on my google search! I’m so pleasantly surprised. Also you are gorgeoussssssssss❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this video! It answered so many questions I had and now I can prune my damaged hydrangea.

Love your vlog. I just received a 4.5 in Incrediball that I mail ordered from HD. It was lost in the mail and sat at UPS for 13 days since shipping. I’m soaking the poor thing in water and will give it morning sun and shade and fingers crossed/prayers I can bring the baby back to life. Thank you for the tips I have some newly planted limelights in my flower bed. I will ensure they are kept up with the watering. 🌸🌞🌹🌺🥀

Omg thank you so much. I bought endless summer hydrangea “can stand in sun” so I been baking it in the sun all day and noticed the leaves are drying up.

I'm so glad you busted out the big leaf one (in blue pot) toward the end. I just found one on clearance and followed your directions on cutting back. It's coming back beautifully! Hanging out in a shady place waiting to go into the ground. It's still too HOT in Georgia.

I will be trying this today!! Love joining my sisters on this Gardening journey
