You’re so good at gardening like a Canadian Garden Answer.
You are super sweet 💚🪴🙏
Tracy, my heart starts racing in anticipation to see what you will be teaching us and sharing in your new videos! My love of hydrangeas came from my mother and continues because your “tricks” that you keep teaching us. Thank you ♥️
Thank you Connie….hydrangeas are my most fav plant too. Happy gardening 💚🪴🙏
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.
Good choice! Happy gardening! 💚
Thanks so much for showing how you divided the Little Lime! Those roots looked so thick Tracy! I love how you potted them up - and hooray for getting two standards too! What a job! Can’t wait to see how the Lime Punch looks in that space next year! 🌸🌺🌸
Thank you so much Laura! I can’t wait to see it bloom next year.
Ps. Those roots were thick and gave me a hard time. Lol….I conquered it and got 4 plants from 1 so it was all good. 💚🪴🙏
I was cringing when you were tugging and cutting on the root ball..lol.. your garden is so beautiful! You give me inspiration for my garden. Thanks
It does seem very daunting at first but it’s very rewarding when you watch the smaller plants grow and thrive. I got 4 plants from 1 Little Lime. Happy gardening Tina! 💚😊💚
Your garden and your hydrangeas are just lovely!
Thank you for your help 😊🙂 I love your videos.
Love your videos, I learned how to divide my Hydrangea from you without getting too scared, love my plants! Thank You so much!
You are so welcome! Enjoy and happy making more plants! 💚🪴💚
My heart was racing watching you decide how to cut that in half 😆
Your flowers still look great even in mid fall. You really are a master gardener.
Thank you 🙏 for watching 💚🪴💚
Wow I love our plants, I would love to have a beautiful Garden like that. Thanks for sharing, very informative content. Have a great day.
Thank you so much for watching 🙏💚🪴
I'm getting ready to divide a Hydrangea. I usually use a bread knife or like you, the small hand saw. Those roots are tough! Even though dividing makes me nervous; I love the free plants!! I also love your use of Sweet Alyssum. I simply adore that little groundcover. It always shows out! 🌺🌺🌺🤗
That’s sounds very exciting. Happy gardening! 💚🙏💚
Always enjoy watching your videos. You are so brave cutting them in two. Love it
Thank you so much Karen….every root ball always look very different and this Little Lime was actually making me a little nervous dividing it 😁.
Good video 👍. 🌹,
Thank you so much 💚🙏💚
Your flowers are very beautiful 😍 ❤ 💕 💖 💗 💛. Love your sharing ❤.
Thank you so much for watching 💚🪴🙏
Beautiful hydrangeas and garden!! loved your tutorial on how to split them.. I have many of these in my garden and absolutely love panicle hydrangeas ❤️
Thank you. Happy gardening 💚🙏🪴
Those Hydrangeas are truly Beautiful.....i love it very much.
Thank you for brightening my evening...Tracy.
Greetings from Zaleha.
I’m glad you enjoyed it as well. Thank you Zaleha 💚🙏💚
Morning Tracy always nice to see your video’s!
Good morning Lucy….thank you so much! 🪴💚🪴
Hi! Great updates for the beautiful plants of yours! Thank you for sharing and I enjoyed a lot😃♥️have a precious time☺️greetings from Japan
Thank you so much 😊
Tracy, I've been binge watching all of your videos on creating new hydrangea standards this weekend. I purchased 3 limelights this past Friday and have already identified which stems would be ideal as a standard. I'm excited to get started but a little nervous. You inspire me so I'm gonna go forward today! Thanks for everything!
It sounds very exciting Jill….I love making hydrangea trees….I got two Little Lime trees today too. I’m looking forward to see how they look next year. Happy gardening Jill. 💚🙏🪴
I went to the second hand store and picked up old bread knives for dividing, just a tip. Thanks for you videos 💕
Thank you so much for the tip….those clippers were giving me a hard time. I will go hunting for bread knives now. 💚🪴🙏
That little lime punch! I can’t wait to get one for my garden! Thanks for sharing 💗
Thank you 🙏 and hopefully you can find one next season. 💚🙏🪴
@@TracysHomeGarden crossing my fingers after seeing yours , I’m more optimistic! I’m in the GTA too :)
We garden in the same zone. Yay! 😁
I know Sheridan in Unionville had some earlier on in the season but they sold out very quickly. I got mine at VANDERMEER in Ajax. 💚🪴💚
@@TracysHomeGarden Yes! It’s so inspiring for me to see your beautiful garden especially, being in the same zone. 🤗 Happy to have found your videos! You are incredibly helpful and relatable!
you have a beautiful garden, I have learned a lot from your video, thank you.
Thank you Jessie! Happy gardening 💚🙏💚
Great Video!
I brought 5 firelight tidbits in the spring from a nursery on Amazon. Green promise farms is the name. They were the two gallon size and are absolutely amazing! Highly recommend.
Five FL Tidbits in mass must be stunning….🤩happy gardening!
Thanks for introducing me to the love of hydrangeas Tracy. Bonny zone 5
I’m glad you love hydrangeas too…Happy gardening 🙏💚🪴
@@TracysHomeGarden Good luck with your new divisions.
Thank you so much. They will need a little extra help to through this winter. Happy gardening 💚🙏🪴
Beautiful fall garden Tracy. I can't wait next summer to see flowers on my newly planted hydrangea pinnacle tree. Right now i'm crazy plantng garlic :DDDD
Thank you so much ….I’m a huge fan of hydrangeas too! Happy gardening 💚🪴🙏
Wow a beautiful 💯💯
Subscribed and big like👍👍
See you next video👌
Thank you so much 😊 Zeus Karpaw!
Grand job Tracy 💕 you have a few more to grow into standards and they’re going to be beautiful 💕
Thank you Jasmine 💚🙏🪴
Your gardens are beautifu
💚😊💚
Gutsy Tracy, phew. I was a bit stressed with this.
🌹👍💐😍 Very beautiful, the most beautiful like for the best channel👍👌😋🌹👍👌💐😍😋219
I'm a fairly new hydrangea admirer, so I love it when you show us your tips and actual footage of your propagation techniques for hydrangeas. You inspire me to try the same thing with my plants. 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? Some of my hydrangea blooms are brown, but I don't know what the seeds actually look like. ~Margie
Thank you Margie…yes, I’ll definitely show more saving hydrangea seeds soon. 🙏💚🪴
@@TracysHomeGarden Thank you, Tracy! I'm looking forward to seeing that video.
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. 🙂
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. 💚🙏🪴
@@TracysHomeGarden That is awesome! Looking forward to see your video on how to prune next year. Thanks again! Have a great rest of the week.
I have been loving watching your garden develop during the different seasons. Just wondering if you ever use fertilizer and if so what do you use and how often. Love watching these awesome videos!
Thank you 🙏
I only fertilize my roses & clematis in the spring and early summer. All my other perennials and hydrangeas - I just give them some compost in the spring (and sometimes in the fall)…also, I mulch the garden so that’s does slowly break down and feed the plants 🪴. Hope that helps.
Now I'm on the hunt for the new hydrangeas. I especially love the fire light tidbit. May need to start a Hydrangea Anonymous, I am addicted to hydrangeas and I LOVE IT! 😍😍😍
Hi Tracy, Great job; does this mean you are going to leave the potted hydrangea stems in the container outside during the winter?
The two small standards have very little roots so I may have to be more careful with them….the other two larger bushes will be okay outside in their double walled pots. Thank you Eileen. 💚🪴💚
You will definitely like the Fire Light Tidbit Arlene. Happy hydrangeas shopping.
I love the contrasting pointy shape of the hydrangeas to your other plants. What purple/white plants border the hydrangea?
Thank you so much! 😊💚🙏. The purple plants around the border are all Royal Purple Alyssum.
I also took off the blooms to develop roots
Awesome Anu, 👏 hope they get rooted so we could plant it by the end of May next year. 🤞💚🪴
Is the very large pink hydrengea the QuickFire Fab? You went quickly through that part... sorry I didn't catch it. So beautiful. I love your layering.
Hi Kathy,
Do you recall the time on the video?
QF Fab is the one planted in the small island bed. It’s a new one for me and I’m so looking forward to see how “early” it will bloom this year compared to my original QF standard.
@@TracysHomeGarden Hi! Quick Fire and lava lamp? 3:20
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.
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..
Hi Sarah,
It you want them to grow suckers from the grown up - then plant the divided pieces a node lower than the original plant. The buried nodes will send up suckers.
Hope that help! Have fun making more plants! 💚
Thank you, I appreciate your advice that was super helpful! I will plant it deeper once it warms up here (zone 8b). Happy gardening💕
The ones you just planted in pots, will you leave them outside for the winter or will you put them in a garage or some place for extra protection?
I love your gardens and very much appreciate the knowledge you share.
Thank you so much Melody. The plants in double walled pots will be kept outside. Happy gardening 💚🙏🪴
@@TracysHomeGarden Thank you, I did my first in a pot a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to give outside a try. It's in a pretty thick pot with a good root system so we'll see.
Happy Thanksgiving
what size of your pots you planted little lime. love it.
I planted them in a 20” wide and deep round pots. Happy gardening! 💚💚💚
My Quick Fire Fab also didn't bloom it is a new plant and i also moved it to a different location.
As soon as I planted it in the ground it started forming blooms. Hopefully moving your QFF to another location would help it bloom next season Angelique. 💚🪴🙏
Do you get lots of bees or any at all around your hydrangeas??
👍👍👍😍😍😍😍🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Thank you! 💚🙏💚
Did all 3 of your divided Little Lime survive, especially the standard stick?
They all survived but the “sticks” were devoured by some bunnies 🐰 and they started back up from the ground. Now they grow as bushes. I want them in tree forms so I’m waiting for some long stems to do that.
how do you prevent diseases? I’m in
zone 9 and hydrangeas struggle during the summer heat & humidity
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. 🙏🪴💚
Really enjoy your videos. This gives me encouragement to try. Your hydrangeas. Z8aNC. What zone are you and state? TIA
Thank you Mary….we are in Toronto Canada….our zone should be 5/6 based on our last winter. In zone 8, I would definitely choose hydrangeas that bloom later in the summer like the Little Lime Punch or Fire Light Tidbit. Happy hunting for hydrangeas. 💚
@@TracysHomeGarden just put a little lime punch in pot about a month ago. It has a bud. Keeping fingers crossed. Want it to stay red, but if I put in our soil it will turn purple color. Will have to eventually get larger pot.
Hi Mary,
Soil pH will not affect the color of panicle hydrangeas…so I think you can plant it in ground. How fun it is for you to be able to see the LL Punch blooms soon. Enjoy Mary 💚🪴💚
Thanks for sharing
I am planning to mass plant tidbits and want to know the color change in real.
Thanks
Yes, Tidbit blooms later in the season and the colour is true to the one on PW’s website. The only thing I would recommend is to have something else planted nearby or in front that blooms in early summer while you wait for the Tidbit to bloom later in the season. Happy gardening!
Thanks
I am also considering Pieris Cavitine infront of tidbits a small evergreen shrub
My newly planted little lime punch didn't produce any blooms either and both are planted in ground.
I think the grower may have given the plants too much fertilizer to force young plants to grow larger and faster for retail….you can also see that these tend to have very dark green foliage and a lot of hair-like roots (no long tap roots like what I have on my Little Lime)….a sign of too much nitrogen. Hopefully our plants will bloom next year. 🪴💚🪴
Can I divide a new hydrangea plant that I an getting in about one month?
Yes, you can definitely divide panicle and arborescent hydrangeas any time late winter to early summer.
Whats the white tiny flowers at the edge border?
They are alyssum, an annual for our zone.
Wat kinda fertilizer u use on them ...?
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).
should you not cut more off the top before tramsplanting to help the plant ?
Yes, it would be better but it’s late fall. The plants are starting to go dormant so I left them on the plants. Any stems not able to survive now will be pruned in late winter next year. 💚🙏💚. Thanks Jim!
@@TracysHomeGarden Thank You . i'm in east Tennessee
Could the reason it didn’t bloom be that it just a new plant from a one gallon? Referring to the little red punch
I have hydrangeas cutting blooming the first year and so I don’t think the size is the reason. Judging from the deep green colour of its foliage when I got it, I think it was fed with excessive amount to fertilizer….this tend to make the plant put out more foliage growth and not blooms….thank you 💚🙏💚
@@TracysHomeGarden I see. I received my 1 gallon little lime punch as well (zone 8b) with only foliage this fall. I hope we see blooms this summer!
Where do u find lava lamp hydrangeas?
I got my at Sheridan Nursery. Have you tried looking for them online? It’s sold by BloominEasy and now go by the name “Flare”.
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?
Hi E Cole,
I’m so sorry to hear about your compost issue.
If you are in zone 7 or above the Ivy is very invasive and the vines will root in the compost….so I think the vines should be removed. 😳🥺
@@TracysHomeGarden Who's the best gardener on CZcams? Tracy, of course! Many thanks and blessings, Tracy. I have removed vines and leaves from one bin. I have 2 to go. I will take my time over 2 or 3 days, but I am determined to do it.
You are super sweet E. Cole! 💚💚💚 If only I were close by, I would definitely come over and help you.😊😊😊. Take your time and take care. 🙏🙏🙏
Your gardens are beautiful! Do you ever give neighbors plants after you divide them? Once established, they need little care, so they are the perfect plant to gift.
Thank you so much. I do give away / share plants to friends and neighbors…🪴💚🪴
Never hear of dividing a hydrangea.
I got 3 Little Limes from this... give it a try! Happy gardening!
