Thank you so much, David, for all this information. I have a gorgeous planted panicle hydrangea tree. Every year it blooms abundantly and then flops after a heavy rain. I’ll try the July Trim and cut back on fertilizer. Appreciate the overview of different varieties as well. I learn so much from your videos about different plants and how to care for them! Keep them coming!
Thank you, that's great to hear. When you try it, don't forget to let us all know the outcome!
When we all pool our information..... we all learn.
One point to bear in mind, I used the 4th of July as an easy to remember cut off date! If your plant is one of the older, later flowering varieties and you live in a more northerly location with a shorter growing season, you probably ought to do the second prune a bit earlier (maybe 3rd week of June). That way, it will have a bit more time to grow out and form the new flower buds. BTW, if you don't mind, it would be wonderful, if you could kindly click the "like" icon on any of our videos that you deem worthy, because that will help other people find the information too. Thanks again for your lovely appreciative compliments.
Hi David my 2 year old limelight hydrangeas is blooming heavily but because of so much rain, they’re flopping. I tried to tie a rope around them and secured them to the fence. Now I’m going to try cutting them again on July 4 to make them stronger. I live here in Sayreville nj so we are on the same zone. Also last year they went from chartreuse to white then to brown and not pinkish. You mentioned about not getting enough cold . I’m wondering, did yours do the same? If not, how can I make them turn pinkish as they aged? Thank you. I’m always learning something from your channel.
David, I have to say again, your videos are concise, comprehensive, informative and totally enjoyable ! 🙏 Thank you. 🌸❤️🇨🇦
Thank you, that's great to hear. We sometimes get comments from pundits about them being too long in duration. But, we take the view that its better to try to give as much good practical information as we can in one place, so if any viewers want to watch them in at different stages and then go back and review them again at different times, then at least the content is there. We are not looking to produce catchy, glitzy videos that are designed to generate high numbers of views and click through rates, rather just good down to earth, straight forward information that people can refer to, when and as they want. So, if that takes a little longer to explain, then that's the way it is. Thanks again for taking the trouble to let us know, it is appreciated.
SO beautiful Panicle Hydrangeas you got there!
Thank you, they really are incredibly beautiful, rewarding and easy to grow too.

Thank you David I love your stories. ❤️🥰
Thank you. I come from a nation of story tellers, so there's plenty more where these come from. And of course (like all stories), they get better and better with the re-telling!
Have you caught this (behand the scenes one) yet: czcams.com/video/ZDa2EIj8UyI/video.html ?
This is such an informative video I watched it twice. Thank you David!

More great information and viewing pleasure!

Wonderful video! I love paniculatas 💖
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

That was such a great video. Watching this actually improved my mood.Thank you.

Hi David, thank you for this video... it made my day watching the beautiful hydrangeas... have a nice day!
Thank you. That's terrific to hear.... , good plants and pretty gardens do that to us!

David, I think they need to buy you a neck cooling fan, lol! What a serene place. My hydrangeas would never survive in that afternoon heat in Texas!
Thanks, it's really amazing how well some plants can cope with oppressively hot and humid conditions. And ones that have cooling white and blue shades help to create the illusion of a few degrees cooler. We know how superbly well these panicle hydrangeas do here in our our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ and while we are not that well acquainted with your Texas conditions, we suspect that because they are so resilient and easy to grow, maybe it might be worth taking a look around your area, because maybe (just maybe) you'll come across some that are doing OK and therefore are worth trying. Especially of you take "a leaf out of our book" and prune them a second time to get them to flower later in the Fall when perhaps the temperatures are cooler and more forgiving. If you want to re-visit this, and learn more about this technique, then at the 11 minute in this video, you can catch David showing you how we do this to get some of our plants to miss the worst of the hottest summer weather.

@@OverdevestNurseries Hi David. In your future videos on Hydrangea please explain the different type of Espoma fertilizer to use. Some suggest the plant tone for panicle hydrangea instead of the Holly tone for mop heads. I’m confused.
Just found your channel it was so helpful. I have 10 different kinds of hydrangeas in my yard I can’t have enough they are my favorites shrub. 😀🌳
Wonderful, that is great to hear. As you can see, we are very fond of them too! As you've probably noted in the video, the neat thing is the diversity of types, and there's more coming.....

The nice thing about this is that nowadays there's a really great selection to choose from!
Short, medium and large growing ones... Early to late flowering...., white to cream to light pink, to deep pink and even reds....
It might even be time for a more space.... and bigger garden "hee- hee"!
Nice hydrangeas 👍👍
Thank you. They are very special, easy to grow and reliable too.
As you can see, we are testing and trialing lots of new ones and as time rolls on we will be featuring the best of them in videos here on this channel, so stay tuned.

@@OverdevestNurseries Thanks so much I will subscribe 😀I have limelights, little limes, bobos and climbing hydrangeas planted here in southern Ontario. I was also thinking of annabelle. Your plants look great 😎You don't have any stores in my area. Thanks for your nice reply. It sounds like you guys have invasive house sparrows
Really enjoyed this video, thank you for enthusiastically sharing your passion for gardening! I am still learning and actively gardening at 75, just love my hydrangeas. Planted a row of Limelight Prime along our property line last summer, the neighbor just loves the way they look. I did it all myself, utilizing a no dig method, with cardboard and mulch. Continues to look fabulous, even with this ongoing drought we are having in the Finger Lakes area of N.Y. Many thanks to you!
Thank you, that great to hear and congratulations. The neat thing about gardening is that we are all still learning (it never stops), and when we manage to achieve some modicum of success, it is all the sweeter, when we are able to share it with others (like your neighbor), and encourage them to enjoy that pleasure too. So, well done and thank you for telling us all about it.
I will buy early evolution for sure
Good, its really neat. Don't forget to keep us all informed on your progress.
Absolutely beautiful. I need few cuttings
Thank you
Hi there trying to grow some my self here in Ireland look so nice so many kinds God is good
Great. Try to choose the sunniest spot in a well-drained soil. Keep us posted of your progress.
Now I'll stop worrying about mine - thank you for a beautiful, helpful video.
Good. Less worry and more enjoyment......that's the ticket!
@@OverdevestNurseries That's what my grandma used to say! Grandpa was a gardener in Southport, as his father had been.
Thank you, Mr. Wilson. I learned so much from this video. Just bought some panicles this season. I think I’ll be more successful growing them because of your guidelines and helpful hints.
That's great to hear. If you get a chance, it would be nice if you can keep us posted of your progress. Your young plants will probably take a year or two to get into full swing, but once they going, I bet they will look really something. So good luck and keep watching because there's lots of videos on other great plants coming.....
How did I just find you? So happy to find such an informative, relaxed video channel here in my back yard! Going through the archives now. My only regret is that you don't sell retail.

Absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE hydrangeas! I don’t have any "conical" ones. My blooms are completely round on one kind….the others have a flat bloom. Bloom seems to have almost like seeds in the center, then small blooms all around. I have a few tiny shrubs starting. I buried a branch last year. This Spring, it rooted, so I planted it in another garden. I assume, you’re telling us not to prune them in the Fall? I have so much foliage, but blooms are sparse! Other years, the dead wood stood tall, then blossoms fills up. However, this year, not many blooms. Mostly leaves…?
From your description it sounds like you might have some of the Smooth Hydrangeas (Hydrangea arborescens) types :czcams.com/video/UXlRitcOWp4/video.html and maybe a Lacecap variety too. If you care to scroll through this channel, you will find several videos detailing the details and differences. If you want the "conical" ones then, it would be a matter of searching for Hydrangea paniculata and its cultivars of which there are many, and as you've probably noted in this video lot of different characteristics too. When you are ready to explore getting some of these check in with some of our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ and no doubt they'll be able to explain and show you some of what they consider the best selections for you area.
I’ve been wanting two Oakleaf Hydrangea Harmony for years. Nobody carries them locally. I’ve got my eye on two finally for next year. I’m hoping. But Harmony is, what I’m told, an older variety. Popular at older Southern homes. A local nursery man was a little insulting when I asked about whether they carried that variety. He told me “hell no, I don’t want that damn plant”. Not sure what that was all about but I thanked him and haven’t been back over twenty years now. I love the mutton head blossoms. They are huge and brilliant. Love how you say flower. Loved your video and I will be watching for more.
Oakleaved Hydrangeas are really beautiful and we have trialed lots of selections over the years. Harmony is sometimes disparaged because it tends to be floppy as a young plant with flowers that hang down and trail on the ground, which is why (perhaps) that is why it has fallen out of favor. It stiffens up later in life, and it is nice that some enthusiasts are trying to keep heirloom varieties going. Plant Heritage in the UK is doing some sterling work in preserving (and reintroducing) some that are in danger of being lost to cultivation, and we are always on the look out for "hidden or overlooked gems" so stay tuned, because you'd never know what we might be coming up with in future! Often the old "tried and true" are really good plants that deserve to be appreciated and admired again.
I shouldn’t have watched because now I’m going to have an Early Evolution.. Thanks for the watering info. I have been watering the way you suggest just by guess work but now I know I’ve been doing it correctly.
Thank you. Well at least now you know about Early Evolution and its terrific qualities. If you decide to check it out, here's a link that will help you find the locations of all the partnering garden centers that carry our plants. Just bear in mind that it is very new (not everyone knows about it yet), and it is only available in limited quantities, so you might have to talk with the folk at your favorite garden center and see if they can get it in for you.
it is a striking, very promising, little performer that "blew us away" in our trials, and I think once you get it, you are really going to enjoy its stunning beauty!😀👌💚
that’s the pinnacle of safety design
They are amazing plants, beautiful, hardy and very reliable. that's why they are so popular.
You are so knowledgeable! With fertilizer, it turns my Hydrangea pink too fast! Pink = Brown and I notice, with full sun it does that too. I like for my Hydrangea to be white and pink for a long time =)
Its the hot, humid summer night temperatures (above 70 degrees), drought stress and intense mid-day summer sun that is causing them to turn brown. When you revisit this video listen in to the part where I describe how we trim our plants a second time. In this area we do this around mid or end of June (certainly by the 4th of July), this sets the flowering date back to late summer/ early Fall when the night temperatures are cooler and that's how we get longer lasting blooms and often glorious pink shading. Just bear in mind that the eventual flowering dates and coloring intensity depends also on the variety.
Absolutely stunning and beautiful .... i wish they were more readily available here in eastern Australia.
We have very hot summers here in Sydney ,the sun is much stronger here, would you grow them in direct sun here.
In your intense sunshine, they will probably do better with a little shade - especially in the mid afternoon. My guidance is based on our trials and experiences here in Eastern North America, but the same basic principals, organic matter incorporated in soil, supplemental watering, mulching etc.
Keep in touch with your local garden centers, because if they look like they are going to be a success in your area, they are likely to begin stocking them. Try if you can, to find some places that are conducting trials. That way, you'll be able to source the best performers and get the scoop on what to do, to get the best results.
Hi…I’ve been enjoying watching all your videos - especially on the hydrangeas. Question - I am pretty sure I have a Pinky Winky tree hydrangea in my front yard - which doesn’t really get too much sun. It hasn’t been too showy the past few years…probably because it needs a sunnier location, Should I prune that back and then transplant it to a better spot this spring? Thx for you attention and knowledge. You are so much of information - love learning from you!
Thanks, it is great to hear you are enjoying our content. Thanks for watching. 👍😁
You certainly could consider, lifting it and "giving it a ride in a wheel barrow" to a new sunnier site. And to do that, a good hard prune like David describes in his videos would be helpful too. Normally they transplant well....., just try to lift it with a good sized rootball, and transplant it with plenty of organic matter mixed into a generous sized hole (like David describes in this video: czcams.com/video/xybT3obydPw/video.html then be sure to mulch and water it well until it gets stablished.
Then, don't forget to let us all know how you got on, and what the outcome was.

So beautiful!!
David do you have a video on pruning the Panicles? Particularly the tree.
Jenny,
Here's a link to a video that will show you how to prune a tree form Panicle Hydrangea: czcams.com/video/t9zYyaUDmNE/video.html , and we followed that up with this video that shows how the same plant turned out: czcams.com/video/xYJFQ_u4Xq4/video.html
And, if you care to scroll through our channel you will find (elsewhere on this channel), several other videos that explain how to prune and grow other types of panicle hydrangeas too.

@@OverdevestNurseries Thank so much for your helpful reply. Viewed, liked, shared and subscribed 👍
I think you are right down the road from me. I am in Lumberton. Any chance I could come see some of your plants in person?
I am afraid we are not set up to accommodate visitors. Ours is very busy nursery with lots of machinery, tractors and big vehicles coming and going all the time. But stay tuned, because there are some discussions that maybe (one of these summers), we might be hosting an event in our rose garden trial area! So, keep you best frock and elegant garden hats handy, because maybe, we'll be making an announcement to have some tea and fun in our gardens!
I love your videos, they’re a great help, thank you. I have recently bought two varieties of Paniculata. I live on a southerly island in Greece and am worried that the fierce temperatures will be too much in the direct sunshine. They are small plants and I have them in pots at the moment. Any advice would be most appreciated.
In intense sunshine, they will probably do better with a little shade - especially in the afternoon. My guidance is based on our experiences here in Eastern North America, but the same basic principals, organic matter incorporated in soil, supplemental watering, mulching etc.
David, thank you for a most informative and interesting video. This year was my first for a Limelight Peniculata hydrangea and I was so hesitant to touch it except for some watering. Now I know that they can be pruned without damaging the plant. I am curious where you are located. Qre you in the USA or elsewhere? Thanks again, I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you. It is great to know that you are finding our efforts are helpful and hopefully encouraging you to enjoy growing lots of beautiful garden plants. We are located in Southern New Jersey and our plants are distributed through a network of partnering, neighborhood garden centers positioned right throughout the whole Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/

Thank you. There are several good selections available all over the temperate world. Some of the ones we feature, are very recent introductions and it inevitably takes time for them to become available in other countries. So, we suggest you make a note of any you like and watch for them in your local garden centers and nurseries.
Hi David. I live in western Washington State. I love your enthusiasm! Would you mind telling me your top 3 picks of panicle hydrangeas?
Thank you, its fun doing these videos and it is wonderful to know that you are appreciating our efforts.
As you may have noted, we grow (and test) lots of Hydrangeas (we currently list over 122 types: grownbyoverdevest.com/splant/?_sfm_genus=Hydrangea), and amongst these, the panicle hydrangea selections feature heavily.
David's favorite top three would be:
Hydrangea Early Evolution: czcams.com/video/wp46lQ9PHlI/video.html (hardy, compact, and above all early flowering - a great way to start off the flowering season).
Hydrangea WorryFree® Ruby Snow: czcams.com/video/9vgGc654--U/video.html (compact, bushy, free flowering, sturdy and long lasting).
Hydrangea WorryFree® Love a Lot Pink: czcams.com/video/JEGICVsIhg8/video.html
Here in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region, they can be obtained at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/. but with you in your region, they may not have reached there yet, so make a note, and ask around, because sooner or later (at least) some of them are likely to turn up as they become better known about.
We hope this helps.

@@OverdevestNurseries I'm hoping that someone in the Pacific Northwest will start carrying your varieties! In the meantime can you suggest a nursery willing to ship? I am thinking that I also "need" the oak leaf hydrangea Ruby Slippers! David definitely has sold me on that one 😉
I just love your videos! And your knowledge, you are truly so knowledgeable. Thank you. I have a quick question about the Annabells.. would I be able to cut them back a second time before the 4th of July as well? I haven't tried that.
Thank you again for posting such interesting videos.
Thanks for your kind comments, it is nice to know you are enjoying our efforts.
Trimming your Annabelles will delay the flowering date (just like it does with the panicles), it has the added advantage of making them bushier and probably less floppy too.
But some of this depends upon where you live and the length of your growing season, so we would advise doing some experiments with a plant or two, just to make sure it works in your area.
It would also be worth experimenting with removal of fading flowerheads to (dead-heading) because there's a chance you might get some light rebloom of some of the newer H. arborescens selections - again it depends on your location, the length of the growing season and weather in Fall, but it might be worth tinkering with....

Hi David, it’s a pleasure watching your videos on Hydrangeas. Wow! So much knowledge on these plants. I do have a question regarding my Pinancle hydrangeas. They are around 6 feet tall and blending over from the rain. 18:41 How short can I prune back on these hydrangeas? Thanks
Thanks, it is good to hear you are finding our efforts helpful.
You can trim them back almost as short as you want to (it won't harm the plant). They will make new bushy shoots but depending upon the variety, just know that they are unlikely to flower again this year.
Some varieties have heavy heads and thin stems and are "floppier" than others (that's one of things we look for when we are selecting new ones, we only pick the ones with sturdy stems that are less likely to flop over).
Unfortunately some will bend over no matter what you do, but if you care to watch the video again, you will see David demonstrate (at the 11.25 mark), that it is possible to give them a second trim earlier in the season that should help you create shorter bushier growth.

You didn’t talk about phantom type from paniculate hydrangeas
But thanks for many information
Thanks for watching and posting you kind comments. Phantom is a larger growing selection that is now in our opinion superseded by better more floriferous and more compact growing ones (which is why we didn't include it). It was introduced over 30 years ago (in 1990) and at that time was notable for its big flowers.
Recent achievements in breeding have resulted in selections that are bushier, with wonderful free flowering abilities, sturdy stems and some even change color as the flowers mature.

3:47 ... Ohhh, the plant to the lower left is totally AMAZING, I hope this one gets released after the trial period, just look at those blooms!! Just will enquire and to make sure, it's not an already named on the market selection?
Thank you. Your observation and comment is appreciated. This one is still under evaluation, it is a lovely selection and is impressive, but the criteria is so high that many are surpassed when bushy, stocky non-flopping habit, duration of flowering, late and after season effect and other factors are taken into consideration.
@@OverdevestNurseries Yes, much to consider when it comes to plant breeding. I grow 'Little Lamb', it is very hardy in my far north location and blooms earlier than most of the fuller paniculata types, though it has one drawback, the blooms do not have a great deal of substances and brown and dry up when others are still going strong, I think the variety would be rejected if it were to be under trial today.
Love all.I planted limelight and vanilla strawberry this year.when do they get mature and give big blooms. Thanks
It will probably be next year before they get going. Sometimes, it even takes two years before they get totally up to speed! Meanwhile, check out the other videos on this channel (incl. the one on pruning them in early spring) and in no time at all, you'll be enjoying lots of big, gorgeous flowers.
Thank you for all the information
I live in the UK, Cambridge.
Any tips for our wet winter climate?
Summers are getting very hot in East Anglia.
Are you Irish?
Welcome, and thank you for joining us. No real need to do much different than I explain in the video, just try to choose a sunny site and plant them in a well-drained average soil. Our summers do seem to be getting hotter and drier, so plants like these that surprisingly drought tolerant once they become established are becoming more important. Finally, yes I am originally from Northern Ireland (a long time ago), that's where the "lingo" comes from.
Hydrangeas are my favorite flowers! So far, I have four varietie's growing in my gardens, here in Zone 5 in Ontario. I have dried some over the years, and they are still in great condition. Thanks so much for your growing tips and your enthusiasm.
You are very welcome, it is great to hear that you are finding them so enjoyable too. Don't forget to encourage your friends to try growing them too. Something this good deserves to be shared and enjoyed.
Would love to have this Panicle Hydrangea absolutely stunning. Im in the UK living on a hill so wind is a problem. Cold and windy in winter but good sun all day in summer.
Please what fertilizer do you use as my Mophead white hydrangea changed to a pale green then a very dark green ending burnt orange over the summer after feeding with a liquid tomatoe feed
For the dried arrangement at 17:40, it’s beautiful! What hydrangea variety is was used for it?
It is a relatively new (and very good) one called Hydrangea 'Ruby Snow': grownbyoverdevest.com/plant/worryfree-ruby-snow-panicle-hydrangea/
Some of our partnering garden centers have already started to carry it, so when you get a chance think about asking some of the places for it because it is as I think you've noticed... it is very impressive.
Also, David has not got around to filming a video on it yet, but that's only a matter of time, so stay tuned.

David, another great and helpful video. Does cutting back the plant in late June/early July tend to produce more flowers than if one just lets the plant ‘run its natural seasonal course’ - ie: are more flower buds set? and will the flower stems be stronger so as to reduce possible flopping because they may be, overall, shorter?
Yes, it does help to make the plants shorter and bushier, with smaller and often more flowers, but really the reason we do it is to delay the flowering to extend the display season and get better pink and red coloring.
Thank you🇨🇦👍
Thank you so much for your expertise. Can these be planted in a garden bed with river rocks?
Yes, absolutely.
They are very adaptable - growing easily in most types of soil so long as the drainage is decent.

Hi, thank you for the excellent video. I didn't find anything on Hydrangea Tardiva? I just bought and planted one yesterday. It is supposed to be a late bloomer. Does anyone have a Tardiva? Reviews? Thanks
These are both older (now largely surpassed) varieties, so much so that we are somewhat surprised to hear that you were even able to find plants of Tardiva.
As you scroll through our channel you will discover several videos featuring lots of really good ones, in recent years there's been and exciting explosion of improved varieties, many of which we have trialed side by side with existing and older ones.
It is good that you were able to find this video - their culture and care is similar, so no doubt you will be able to enjoy them, whether it is the older ones or the best fo the exciting and new - they are all really special.

Thank you, we are pleased to hear you found our video helpful. These panicle types are very hardy and will probably grow well for you. But to be sure, we suggest that you visit a few of your local garden centers and check with them.
Hi! Very beautiful ! Can i grow paniculatas in direkt sun in Germany? And which sort is the best for loads of sun in summer? Thank you🤍
Absolutely, they love (and need) the sun, the sunnier the better!
As for which sorts to grow, there are lots of really good ones and we all have our preferences. When you get a chance, you might like to look through this channel and take a little time to review the ones that appeal to you most, then make a "wish list" to take to your local garden centers and see if they can fix you up with the best ones they would have in stock.

When do they get established in the ground or pots.
Depends on when they were planted, soil and weather conditions etc. but it usually takes about 8-10 weeks for them to build a good root system in their new plant position. Even then, I don't consider them fully established until they pass through a complete growing cycle. You won't be able to see what going on under the ground, but once they become established you'll be able to see strong new growth coming out for the buds and a sturdy look tot he plant. Until then, keep up the TLC!
What was the plant that you cut back later in the season and they bloomed in darker pink?
We do this to several of our varieties of panicle hydrangeas but in this case, it was probably Hydrangea Quick Fire Fab: czcams.com/video/85E8PRXvUCY/video.htmlsi=cdkB3eH5yLyRkcT4

Hi, do you water them during the winter month?
There's usually plenty of adequate moisture in the soil at that time of year, so we do not have to water them.
Obviously, if you are growing them in containers and over-wintering indoors where they are not exposed to rainfall, then they will need occasional watering. Its a matter of keeping them moist enough to survive but not soaking wet.

Hi David. I live in Zone 9. Do you think the Paniculatas should thrive in my place?
You are outside of our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern USA region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ so we do not have any direct experience, but from what we understand it is possible to grow at least some of them in Zone 9.
What we would suggest is that you take a look around your neighborhood to see if you can see some growing satisfactorily... that would provide a good indication.
Also, have a chat with the experts at your local garden center (they are always a good source for local info.) and then if it looks like they are worth trying, put in a trial plant and watch!

Thank you for awesome video. Can I trim green lime bushes second time in July ? Are they going to change colour? I’m from Edmonton. All the best to you.
Pretty sure that will be too late in zone 3. As David has mentioned in other comments, in zones with shorter growing seasons it's recommended you prune a few weeks earlier, sometime in June. I don't know if it's entirely necessary in zone 3 though, as we already have later flowering than higher zones, and our first frost date is earlier as well.
Thank you Aquafish. I agree, in your shorter season you may not have to do a second trim at all. Cooler nights in colder zones usually results in them naturally turning color. Of course it depends upon the variety. If you do decide to try a second trim - you will have to do it earlier (perhaps early or mid June at the latest). I used "by the 4th of July" as a guide for this region because it is easy to remember, but with shorter growing seasons that would have to be adjusted.
Can I get it in South Africa, Western Cape?
I expect at least a few of these selections should be available in south Africa. Best thing to do is check with your local garden centers. They will have a good handle on what's available and which ones perform best in your area.
I have a question about the pruning technique in July. I live in zone 7B. Can I apply the pruning method that you show in this video in July aka Prune second time to create smaller blooms with more sturdy stems? or it is only suitable in different zones?
Absolutely, it should work well for you. Only bear in mind, that you should probably try it earlier than the 4th of July (i.e. mid to end of June). I used the 4th of July because that's a date that is easy to remember, but the trick is to leave enough time for the new growth to grow out and set flower bud before frost. Also, some varieties are earlier flowering and more responsive than others, so if you have more than one plant, try a little experimentation on one plant first and then tweak it according to whatever works best.
Question , can I safely overwinter the panicle hydrangea or the panicked hydrangea tree in large pots outside in zone 5 ?
The parts of the plants that are above soil level are very hardy, and will have no issues. But, the roots in a pot (which are normally insulated under the ground in a garden) are vulnerable to freezing solid when surrounded with cold conditions in a pot.
So they will grow well in a large pots, but the pot should be protected in a sheltered spot and wrapped with insulation or brought into garage or basement etc.
Do they grow on southern climates like Texas .
They probably do, but since all our experience is here in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern States we are not really able to guide you much. We suggest you keep an eye out as you drive around some local neighborhoods. Then consult with your local garden centers because they will have a good handle on what (and what does not) do well in your locality.
Deb here. Did not realize how many types there are. Hard to choose.
That's true, we are "spoiled for choice" and there's lots more besides! Still, I suppose "you can't have too much or a good thing"!
Hi I have some limelight’s and my blooms turn brown here in zone 7 a. I have clay soil and I think I maybe over watering because I recently checked the soil with a meter and it read wet after not having watered in over a week. My leaves are green and healthy but blooms are partially brown. Second season in grown. My question is should I dig up in the fall and create some sort of burm? Or should I leave alone and just not water next year?
The browning on the flowers is caused by hot, humid night temperatures and sun intensity. If it's any consolation, it happens to our plants too. That's why I talk in this video about trimming them a second time, in late June (certainly before the 4th of July). The browning is accelerated in prolonged dry periods, so some supplemental watering will help to prolong the display. You are wise to be careful about not overwatering but its the night temperatures and not the watering that is causing the discoloration. By trimming them a second time, you are delaying the flowering time, so that then when they do flower, it is later in late summer and Fall, when the night temperatures are more likely to be less than 70 degrees.
I may have missed it- what zone are you in David?
Our nursery is technically in Zone 7 but with the open site and exposure it is more like Zone 6 (certainly it feels like that maybe even a 5 at times). Our garden centers partners are sprinkled through the region from from Zone 5 through to Zone 7 too.
Hi David my panicle hydrangea have died on me what I did wrong please let me know
That's a shame and quite unusual! I suggest you replay this video again and listen in to the bits where I describe the growing tips. Then compare the conditions you have with my suggestions, and see what you can do to create better conditions for your plants. As you will see and hear, they are normally, easy and reliable growers that allow most people to enjoy excellent results.
Are you in the US or Canada
I live in Los Angeles and if the weather is too hot
We are in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region of the USA, and we get weather that is too hot too! In fact in the last few days we have been getting temperatures in the high 90s and our panicle Hydrangeas are coping with it remarkably well as well of course as cold winter temperatures.
If you are thinking of trying some, we would suggest that you take a look around your neighborhoods and if you see some plants doing well in other people's gardens or local parks, then the chances are that they will do well for you too.
All that said, our expertise revolves growing them in this region, so we would defer to the knowledge and experiences of your local garden centers, they are always a good source for on the spot guidance.

I was not aware that the plants can be cut back in July! I thought you only cut early Spring for summer and fall flowering. Is this only for specific varieties?
This is something we've been working on for years. The reason we do it is to delay the flowering to extend the display season and get better pink and red coloring in the cool weather of Autumn. The important thing is to leave enough time for the plants to grow out and set new flower buds. So, while I mention the 4th of July (because it is an easy date for everyone to remember), really it works better for us if it is carried out by the end of June. Exact timing depends upon where you are located and the variety.... The further north you are located the shorter the season - so you would probably need to do it earlier. For us, the end of June works best on early flowering types, later flowering ones will need earlier pruning dates.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thanks for explaining the context. David's enthusiasm shines through all his videos and I look forward to your content.
Can limelights be pruned in late summer to extend their season? I kind of suspect not, because they are late bloomers
It depends upon the length of your growing season. Here in our region (Northeast & Mid-Atlantic), most of the time they wouldn't have enough time to grow out and set new flower buds.
You might be interested to know that we have seen some rebloom on one of the very early bloomers... Hydrangea Early Evolution: czcams.com/video/PLjOwzIQn0M/video.html
So, we are conducting experiments to see if this can be reliably replicated in home gardens. It's too early to tell you definitely yet, so stay tuned and we'll let you know how we get on.
Thanks for an interesting question.
Do they do well in pots?
They are terrific (really beautiful) plants for growing in pots and planters. Just be aware that in colder districts the pots will probably have to be moved to a sheltered location (or into a garage or basement) during the worst of the winter.
The tops of the plants are very hardy, but the fleshy roots (which are normally insulated under the ground in a landscape setting) may freeze solid and be damaged, when the elevated and smaller soil volume of n a pot or planter are surrounded by cold conditions.
Do the old mop head hydrangeas bloom on old wood? I have 2 that are 20 years old and are huge. I never know how or when to prune.
Hydrangea macrophylla, famously color-changing according to soil acidity, bloom on old wood. Those need to be pruned right after flowering so you don't lose next year's buds.
Thank you Aquafish. Generally they don't need much pruning, but old, overgrown specimens can be tidied up and reinvigorated by pruning just after flowering (just as the flowers begin to fade), that then leaves enough time to for the new growth to grow out and set buds that will over-winter and bloom the following year.
