That's amazing! I'm sure you have such a lovely garden :)

@@pwcolorchoice not yet, I'm still in the process of collecting PW hydrangeas, will order more to fill my garden, I can't wait for spring to get here! I live in zone 6a, when can I start ordering and planting?

@@pc0086 That is so exciting! I'm in the process of planning a new garden too, it's so much fun! So if you order plants from the PW website you can pre-order now and they will get sent to you in spring (based on your usda zone). The new hydrangeas are selling out quicly so I would place an order on those sooner rather than later. I would also recommend waiting for your local garden center to open and shopping there as you often can get a bigger plant for less money - since you don't need to pay for shipping, woo! So once you have your plants and are ready to go, you can plant in spring once the last frost has past and the ground is soft enough for you to dig in. :)

@@pwcolorchoice oh yes!! As soon as I saw those new 2021 hydrangeas, I ordered them immediately. The newest paniculata hydrangeas firelight tidbit, limelight prime, and quick fire fab i ordered last year and already in the ground waiting for them to grow and bloom! I'll definitely check out the local nurseries, but they don't usually put them out till May or June. I'll portably order them on PW again soon 😁

@@pc0086 That's awesome! I love your enthusiasm and can't wait to hear about how wonderful your garden is this year! Sounds like you have a lot of fun work ahead :)

Thank you for the feedback! As a general rule, panicle hydrangeas prefer sun to part sun.

So glad you found it helpful and thank you for the kind feedback! :)

Thanks so much! :)

Unfortunately, this isn’t feasible in the long run - we explain it in more detail here: www.provenwinners.com/panicle-hydrangeas#Can_you_keep_smaller_through_pruning.

That hydrangea is a non-introduced variety. We filmed this video in our trial gardens so some of the plants are still being trialed and tested.

Yay! Love to hear that, so glad you enjoyed this video! 🥰

That is fantastic! They will do just fine in full sun. I would just make sure to give them a good 2-3" layer of mulch to help keep the roots cooler and retain more water :)

Yay! They are so pretty and delicate, you have great taste :)

Thank you for the kind feedback! No, the roots would not be too invasive, and planting a living groundcover around them would be beautiful! :)

Those are Double Play Doozie® spirea, mypwcolorchoices.com/product/double-play-doozie-spirea-2/ I agree, they look very good next to each other :)

The hydrangeas you mentioned are nice and small varieties 😊 A few other ideas for you: www.mypwcolorchoices.com/product/tiny-quick-fire-panicle-hydrangea/ www.mypwcolorchoices.com/product/little-quick-fire-hardy-hydrangea/

@@pwcolorchoice Is there one (any) in particular that best handles the SUN? Still zone 5?

@@mamat792 In zone 5, any of our panicle hydrangeas will handle the sun well. 'Limelight' is our most heat-tolerant panicle but that has to do more with temperatures, rather than the amount of exposure 🙂

That is wonderful! Those are both excellent hydrangeas :)

Thank you for that feedback! For larger, good-quality plants we always recommend checking out your local garden center, here's a link where you can enter in your zip code and it will provide you with a list of garden centers near you that carry PW plants, www.mypwcolorchoices.com/retailers/ We will be working on a garden tour video and posting that this fall :)

Thank you! 🥰🥰

Thank you so much!

Thank you! 🥰☀

You're right about the cooler nighttime temps affecting the bloom color change, it also depends on the change in daylight hours. You would get some color change but not as vivid as you see in the cooler climates.

Panicle hydrangeas bloom according to accumulated heat, so in very cool areas, they bloom later. The chart at the bottom of this link shows our different panicle hydrangeas and which blooms earlier. Happy hydrangeas! www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/limelight-prime-panicle-hydrangea-hydrangea-paniculata

So glad you liked the video! Unfortunately that isn't a variety we sell so I don't have the information on it. If you really like panicle hydrangeas you have to check out our four new ones!! kzfaq.info/sun/PLEIgIljNZwZBjDkAHxKsqb74kx5TiCXL2

Little lime punch!!!Omg... I'll definitely be adding some new friends this season. Thanks for sharing and responding.

@@cardocarrie6459 Of course! Happy gardening :)

We do plan on creating a new video for this topic. For now here is some information on the process, www.provenwinners.com/learn/plant-food/caring-tree-form-shrubs

Truly the most stunning flowers I have ever seen

Both of our large and medium hydrangeas are featured in this video. Our smaller/dwarf sized varieties you can see in Part Two of this video series, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdxdmLlo2KycpZ8.html

Understandable! It's easy to get lost in this beauty.

It really is a phenomenal plant! We are going to continue to sell it :)

Zinfin Doll would work great for you! Ruby Slippers isn't a variety that we carry but it looks like it's hardy in USDA zones 5-9, so that one would also work for you.

Thank you for the feedback! As for your hydrangeas there are a lot of considerations, the type of hydrangea, location, amount of sun/water, and so on can all have an effect on how the plant will perform. We're always here to answer any questions you have :)

Panicle hydrangeas like Pinky Winky and elderberries are indeed compatible! They all enjoy having full sun spots and soil with good drainage. You wouldn't go wrong planting a smooth or panicle hydrangea.

I meant partial sun. It will be shady after 1pm during the hot summer

@@katrinacai2378 They would survive, however they wouldn't perform as well as the ones you see in this video. I would have a few reservations but if you are willing to give it a shot they will indeed survive!

Very exciting! Here are a few tips: Light: The most sun-tolerant type of hydrangea! It will thrive in full sun to part shade. In warmer zones, it could benefit from placement in afternoon shade. Soil: Prefers moist soil that drains easily. Any period of extended sogginess will not be tolerated. Soil pH does not affect flower color, it matures to deep pink in the fall. If browning occurs instead of aging to pink, this is an indication the nights are too warm or that it is getting inconsistent water. Water: Average water needs. Fertilizing: Nothing special required. If desired, you may apply a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants in late winter/early spring when the soil is workable. Pruning: Pruning is recommended in early spring. Remove weak branches in the middle and about 1/3 of the height and width. Make cuts just about 1/4 of an inch above a bud. Dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time, just cut back to a set of leaves! Other: It can be used as a cut flower! For its longest vase life, cut vertically up the stem about 2″. This will help it absorb more water.

Here's a video we made about fertilizing your hydrangea :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJyTl9R9lZzIaKs.html

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you for the question! That hydrangea is actually an old trial variety that never got introduced. I would recommend you look into our new panicle hydrangea, Puffer Fish, www.mypwcolorchoices.com/product/puffer-fish-panicle-hydrangea/ it's a fantastic plant and the blooms start off white and age to green after some time ☺

That is a tough one to give an exact answer to as it depends on the plants growing conditions (how much sun it gets, what USDA zone it is in)

All hydrangeas need some sun, while some will grow in part shade conditions, they all tend to bloom more profusely with more sun. I did a search for hydrangeas that grow in your zone and will grow in part shade here's that list, mypwcolorchoices.com/all-plants/?jsf=epro-products:sheight&tax=product_cat:528;pa_zone:110;pa_exposure:311,312

Actually, a great option for you would be one of our Oakleaf hydrangeas! They are native to Alabama and do very well in the shade. mypwcolorchoices.com/?s=oakleaf :)

In general, shrub roots aren't as aggressive as tree roots, if you are concerned about planting next to a structure you should be just fine if you give them the recommended planting space! You can always give them a little extra room if you'd prefer as well too :)

Yes those should do fine!

Little Quick Fire does better :)

They will grow in part shade but do bloom more profusely in full sun :)

We don't apply any special fertilizer for larger blooms, the plants form these by themselves! The growth rate can depend on a few different factors but in general, shrubs take 5-7 years to reach their mature size. :)

@@pwcolorchoiceThank you!

That's so awesome! So glad to hear your local garden center has so many of our plants, yay! As for your hedge, both of these hydrangeas will grow to be 6-8' wide, because you're in a warmer zone, I would recommend planting them 7' apart. So five would be enough, you could probably get away with 4, but if you wanted them to grow into each other a bit more 5 would work :) For planting, doing it in early fall is a great time, once the temps have cooled down a bit. I'd recommend giving them a good 2-3" layer of mulch to help insulate the roots :)

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I'm so glad I asked about planting bc I would have planted them when the temp cooled down to the 80's bc I thought 90's would just be too much for planting a new shrub. It starts to cool down here in the PNW in mid September so I'll just have to wait. I'm just so anxious to get them in the ground and growing since it sounds like it may take several years to get 6-8ft. I'm guessing if they are now 3ft then it will take a good 3+ years to get the height? Could I move them in their new spot to see if they will be okay in that area or keep them in the shade? I'm sorry for all the questions but unfortunately the local nursery wasn't very helpful. Also I buy and ask questions later.😂 And yes I would like for them to be a nice thick hedge so a bit into each other is fine. Plus I didn't account for the one side that has a small patio that I would like it to also grown over. If that makes sense. Its only about 10 feet long and I didn't add those inches into my total. So I will plant one close to that corner so it grows over the patio a bit so 5 would be better. If that again makes sense.😂 How far away from the fence should I plant it? I don't want it to squish into the fence but really really close? Thank you so very much.

@@marykennedy3351 Haha, don't apologize we love talking about plants :) Yes, on average we tend to see plants reach their mature size after 3-5 years (depending on what plant and what size you started with). You can apply a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants in late winter/early spring when the soil is workable to help encourage faster growth. For the fence, I'd say planting them 3.5-4' away would be good so that they grow right up next to the fence but aren't crammed against it :)

Thanks for all the wonderful help. You guys are amazing getting back to me from a year old video.😍

@@marykennedy3351 Of course! We want our gardeners to be successful and are always here to help :)

Hello! Great question! While it's true that, to some extent, removing flowers will give the plant more energy to put into rooting, this isn't necessary. In my opinion, if you've got a brand new shrub that's ready to bloom, you should enjoy it! Any boost it would get from removing the flowers would be fairly minor, anyway. ☺

@@pwcolorchoice thank you for the quick response! I’ll let it bloom haha

@@staciejackson7497 Happy to help! Enjoy those blooms, my friend! ☀

Yes, you can! Here is a helpful article you can check out to get more information on this topic :) www.provenwinners.com/learn/container-gardening/how-grow-hydrangeas-containers

If you go to the description of the video, there is a link to each plant that is featured in this video and you can see all of the information there :)

Around 5-7 years :)

Thanks, we planted 9 of these around our pool 2 years and 9 months ago (1 gal size - have gone through 3 falls, 3 winters and 3 springs) and as of today they are about 2 ft x 2ft big. Should I pull them out and replace with quick fire? Is quick fire faster to establish to full size or will I have to wait the 5-7 years with that variety as well? I'm a typical zone 4 impatient Minnesota gardener:) Thanks! @@pwcolorchoice

@@hetalspatel9940 They grow at about the same rate, Quick Fire got its name because it blooms faster :) I'd recommend sticking with what you have now. Totally get you with the impatient when it comes to plants growing haha :)

She should have just been honest with you because it seems after all that time they haven’t grown at all. The conditions are just not right for that variety and yes I would move them to a different location. Why couldn’t she just tell you that?? WOW

Yay! So glad to hear that! 🤗

We're located in West Michigan! Here's a link where you can find garden centers near you that carry PW plants :) www.mypwcolorchoices.com/retailers/

@@pwcolorchoice thank you so much, i picked 3 hydrangeas today from local Lowe's Summer crush Bloom struck Blue the original And the 4th from other local land scape *limelight* Just to confirm they grow back each ear and how do i take care of them, and is there a website. Thanks

@@I_O_2004 Out of the varieties you mentioned only Limelight hydrangea is one of the hydrangeas that we offer. It does grow back each year and you can find the care information on that one here, www.mypwcolorchoices.com/product/limelight-panicle-hydrangea/

If you live in a more temperate area (maybe south Africa) they would be able to survive but it is most likely too hot for these hydrangeas to grow there. Thank you for the question!

Pinky Winky and Quick Fire both have slightly faster growing rates :)

@@pwcolorchoice these two are faster than limelight?

@@Sunshine-xt1vb Correct! It is always good to keep in mind that the growth rate of the plant will be contingent upon the growing conditions the plant is in (amount of sun, water, etc) :)

@@pwcolorchoice I’m contemplating putting a hedge of incrediball on the north side of my garage, so shade to part shade. It’s not like full shade but is shaded due to the garage. Do you think they would be ok there or should I select another variety? I need it to grow on new wood -the rabbits here are ruthless.

@@Sunshine-xt1vb It sounds like there wouldn't be enough sun in that location for the hydrangeas to grow/bloom well. Part shade is classified as 4-6 hours of direct sun a day, if your location gets that much then they would be okay there. If not, oakleaf hydrangeas are the most shade tolerant, but they still do require some sun.

There are direct links to each hydrangea in the description where you can get all of the specific information on them.

The zone will unfortunately only tell you if it is likely to survive the Winter - they will all definitely survive a Texas Winter.

Paul T's World the true question is...”can Texas survive winter?” ..that power outage had them beat, poor guys

I’m new to hydrangea and live in CA zone 8 summer heat is intense. Which one is best for my zone? One other thing is I see most of your the hydrangeas in this video are in full sun, open space with no shade. Can I do that too in Ca.

OMG! Y’all are nutcases! A quick google search would tell you the hardiness zone and as Paul said, these hydrangeas will most likely survive winters in Texas or Southern California, but probably not your hot 100+ summers, unless you plant them somewhere where they get afternoon shade.

There are a few different reasons that could be causing this - to be sure we're giving you the best advice, would you be able to send us a photo? Then we will take a look and determine what could be causing this issue! www.provenwinners.com/feedback

Pinky Winky requires full to part sun, so it would need at least 4 hours of sun a day

We do have European partners and you can see more about them here, valkplant.com/en/proven-winners/ 🤗

Haha 😄 - it's a larger plant but certainly beautiful! ☺

Ugh, we know your pain, friend!

It totally would!! Come on, science! :)

Ugh yes, it is not an easy task but hopefully one day! :)
