Please clarify when you said hot full sun. The zone matters greatly. I followed the same advice regarding Hydrageas and I regretted it 😢. My hedge of 9 limelight and limelight primes roasted. Huge loss, all were 3 gallon plants. Zone 8b Texas and they are on daily irrigation. They looked good through spring but became toasted in my Texas summer😢.

Thanks for the question. Hot sun in Zone 8b should be fine for Limelight Hydrangeas, which are hardy into zone 9 even.
The cause of death for your plants was most likely due to over or under watering (watering too frequently and not allowing the soil to dry out, or from not giving the plant enough quantity of water to thoroughly soak them each time they are watered).
Panicled Hydrangeas do not like to be watered every day. They, like many other heat-loving plants, would like to be thoroughly soaked (5-10 minutes slow trickle), and then allowed a few days to dry out for their entire first year.
In our area, we recommend a drying out period of around 4-5 days for 3 gallon hydrangeas, due to our heavy clay concentration. In your area, it may be more frequently, i.e. every 3-4 days, if your soil composition is lighter / more sandy.
Watering every day with an irrigation system is not a good approach for newly established plants. We have a couple other videos on our page for how to properly water plants, as well as a guide (for Northern Illinois), on how to water new plants: www.wasconursery.com/plant-care/care-of-new-plants/

Personally I don't think irrigation is the answer for shrubs in really HOT sunny zones...I found that out the hard way as well. Now I water with the hose directly in those areas and this way I KNOW it's getting alot of water and I am looking at those plants more frequently because I am standing in front of it watering it. I can adjust accordingly to my watering.

Will a Japanese maple grow well in zone 7b? And how much are they?

[@WascoNursery]

Yes, they do grow in 7b, and ours typically range from $250 - $650 depending on age. Just a heads up, we are unable to ship plants out of state.

@@WascoNursery wow... A bit too pricey for me but TY

Your channel inspired me to plant a bunch of oak trees at my property and my parents :)
