Thank you, that is very kind of you to say so, but I have to quickly add that it is easy when you have such BEAUTIFUL things to comment on!

I would watch too! I learn so much from Mr. Wilson 😀

Thank you

Thank you, glad to hear it was helpful

Thank you

Thanks, they are SPECTACTULAR..... And so easy and reliable to grow too. Don't quite understand why you are not expecting it not to flower this year! Even our little, baby ones flower, so keep an eye on it, for you should shortly be seeing at least some buds on the tips. Stay tuned and if you haven't already think about subscribing to our channel because there's more videos on exciting new selections coming all the time. And if you are in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern USA region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ check out the plants at some of our partnering garden centers because as you may have noticed in the video we send them nice, big, healthy, bushy and well-formed specimens that are usually in flower when they get them in - so you see what you are getting and get off to an extra good start.

I do not live in the Northeast anymore, but I do visit at least twice a year (I was just there in May). So I will be sure to check out nurseries that are supplied by Overdevest the next time I'm in PA and NY. I subscribed a few weeks ago and absolutely love the content created by this channel. 😍 Thanks again!!

Wow, I just read your comment again...even the small ones flower? That's exciting!! 💖🤩 I will certainly keep an eye out now for flower buds. This is one impressive hydrangea 🙏🏾

I know the feeling😉. When I visit the garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ and see all these gorgeous things in flower. It is temptation at every turn😄

Good to know, don't forget to keep us up to date with their progress and development.

How your hydrangeas this year?

@@hueanhnguyen4115 They're great. They all bloomed beautifully last year and are looking very healthy this year. The only disappointment is that they stay a fairly pale pink rather than deepening to red, but I chalk that up to the warm nights that we have where I live.

@@marylovejoy1 what zone are you in?

@@hueanhnguyen4115 7a, Mid-Atlantic region. We don’t have the hottest weather, but it stays warm and humid and night compared to other parts of the country.

Yes, the foliage takes on nice autumnal shades. As for availability.... we are shipping the plants you see in this video to garden centers throughout our region now: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ So you should be able to get all you need.... and since Fall is my FAVORITE TIME FOR PLANTING it is worth trying to get them in the ground so that you can get them off to a great start next spring.

That's easy, the Endless Summer varieties (especially Summer Crush and Bloomstruck) would fit the bill, BUT, if you like the panicle types and want early.... I mean early, then you have to look at Early Evolution - it is very HARDY, EARLY, is adaptable to different soil types, easy to grow, and needs very little maintenance!😉😁👏 Here's what I am talking about: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrKagtqrrrfSYIE.html Don't forget to click the "like" button on this or any of our other videos that you find useful, it helps other people discover the information too.

@@OverdevestNurseries Thank you so much! 😊👍🏾

Thank you for your kind comments. In our nursery, these varieties were pruned a second time. And as you've noticed this technique works well for us. Quite a few of the more recently introduced selections (like these ones) are better at taking on pink and even red shades, especially in more northerly climates where they get cooler summer night temperatures. So the chances are that they may not need the second trim, but you always have this at your disposal should you need it. We are wondering, have you subscribed to our channel yet?

Thank you, it is very kind of you to mention this. The cultural requirements is very similar to the other panicle Hydrangeas - so if you have some of them doing well, this one will too.

Thanks for asking. The general "rule of thumb" is to prune them back by about a 1/3 (and that's a good starting point if you are doing it for the first time), but as you will see and hear in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJyDh6ir2bPFcYU.html I tend to be a bit more aggressive than this, because I love to encourage big strong shoots and those gorgeous (extra large) flowers! Either way will be fine..., pruning them lighter will make them bushier and earlier flowering, whereas my more aggressive technique will usually make them a bit later in flowering and will result in stronger, thicker stems and larger blossoms. If you have more than one plant you might want to experiment and see which is best for you. Experienced gardeners tend to confidently take them back harder, so I suppose you have to try it and see what works best for you. Bottom line, it is good to prune this type because they do perform better.

I did this I'm in zone 6a Indiana and it did not overwinter well. It rotted and died. I mulched it up a few inches in the pot too.

How disappointing that must have been. Thank you for your helpful reply.

Thanks for a great question.... Here's what I suggest you think about doing. They are so beautiful at this time of year (late summer / early autumn), that I think it is really great to be able to enjoy them popped in (temporarily) in decorative pots (and watered of course) and then before the weather gets too cold planted out where they will grow and be enjoyed for many years into the future. The tops of the plants are really hardy (Zone 3) but the roots (which are used to being insulated under the ground) will freeze solid if left in the small soil volume pots. Fall is my favorite time for planting, the earth is moist and warm, it is easier to dig and the weather is very pleasant too, so it is a great time to enjoy them, and with a little nimble thinking you can get extra value that makes a nice addition to the usual straw bales, corn stalks and mums! Our autumns, have cooling weather but usually remain quite warm and pleasant, and this means you can get the get the most out of your plants. Just be sure to not leave them out of the ground too long, certainly well before any persistent freezing or really cold weather sets in.

It is only a matter of time! And in fact, it (and several other Proven Winners / Color Choice shrub selections) may already be available in parts of the UK and elsewhere in Europe. So, keep your eyes peeled (they are easily spotted in their distinctive white pots), and ask at your local garden centers too, because as we understand it, there are some places in the British Isles that are already stocking Proven Winners selections.

Many thanks for your helpful reply.

That's unusual, normally they are very reliable and as you see from our video, flower prolifically. If this reoccurs, check the moisture level around the base of the plant, sometimes if this type of Hydrangea gets too dry in summer, it aborts the flower buds, it stays green and survives but does not flower, so this might be what is going on. Sometimes the competition from tree roots and other plants dries out the soil too, so you might have to supplement or renew the mulch layer and of course do some watering. Here's a link to another video (also on this channel) that will explain more about how to get the best from them: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLKhoKeAsra1eqc.html Also, have you subscribed to our channel?

@@OverdevestNurseries If mine is newly planted a week ago, do I not prune it this season? I'm in Zone 9b. Thank you!

One of the incredible things about Panicle Hydrangeas is their amazing tolerance to both cold and heat which means that they can be grown over a very wide geographical area. Certainly well within the conditions typically encountered in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern States region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ The general consensus seems to be that they can be grown in USDA Zones 3a-9. Although we hasten to add that since this is well outside our growing perimeters, we have no direct experiences at either end of these extremes.

Absolutely, they are very popular. If you are interested in finding out more about them here's a couple of links to some of our videos here on this channel.......

@@OverdevestNurseries but unfortunately I can not find these varieties in my area. Texas zone 8

Our plants are available through a network of hundreds of partnering garden centers located throughout our Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region. here's alink that will let you see where they are all located; grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/

Thank you, it is great to know you appreciate our efforts and are finding them helpful. The nursery name is "over-d-vest" and as you'll see from this link to our website: grownbyoverdevest.com/our-story/#our-story it hails from the Netherlands (birth place of our founders). I am informed by one of my Dutch friends that it apparently means "the people on the other side" - presumably a canal. This is probably as much information as you need, but if by chance you would like to discover more about our nursery, here's a link to a recent trade article that describes more about our passion and what we love to do: gpnmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/CoverStory-OverdevestNurseries_BG-Digital_0422_low-res.pdf
