What a great breakdown of hydrangeas!! There are so many new selections it has been hard for me to decide which is the best fit for my spaces!!! This is a great help!! Thanks :)
I grow a lot of different hydrangeas in 7a in acidic red clay soil. Invincibelle Limetta is my top performer in sun or shade. They start blooming with the oakleafs and keep blooming past the panicles until frost. They have had no pest or disease issues for me and are extremely low maintenance. I don't hear many TH-camrs talk about it, but it's a fantastic hydrangea. I just keep buying more of that one. I never get tired of it.
@@KellyFlowers1968 For arborescens I have Wee White, Annabelle, Sublime, Lime Rickey, and of course Limetta. I haven't grown Incrediball, so I can't compare. Is Incrediball a rebloomer? I also grow 3 varieties of macrophylla, 1 variety of serrata, 5 types of quercifolia, and 5 kinds of paniculata. Limetta is the star of the show every year.
@@JLee-pc2vc Thank you for your response! WOW on all the hydrangeas that you grow. You should do a youtube! :) I don't know for sure if Incrediball is a rebloomer, but I think it is. I am just now dipping my toe into the arborescens family. That's very telling if you grow all those different varieties and Limetta is the star. Im going to find a Limetta somewhere this spring! So glad I came back to this video - THANKS again!
BEST EVER!!! I don't think anyone has explained all the different hydrangeas so well! I imagine this video will be referred to over and over as a reference for hydrangeas. I know I will. Very thankful and appreciate you sharing your experiences with them. So helpful.
We’ve never have paniculatas here in Spain, but I found one yesterday… and here you are, telling me how to grow it!! Couldn’t be happier with this video!! Thaaaanksssss
Jenny you look so beautiful with that back drop of hydrangeas and other flowers🥰 Thank you for sharing all the information on these shrubs. I have always had hydrangeas but wasn’t sure how to take care of them. Just put in a new raised bed of the little lime hydrangeas and they are doing beautiful. So happy❤️
I’ve been waiting for a video like this…THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! No other gardener that I follow has a video this detailed - no one! This one will be certainly saved in my archive as a go-to informative video. I have a few hydrangeas that get morning sun, but I’ve always wanted to create a hydrangea hedge on my west front yard along our driveway and now I think I can do that. You have truly excited/encouraged me and I now feel confident to plant this and see it flourish. Thank you again lovely lady!🥰
Jenny, I love how you put all of the plant information on the screen. So naturally, I paused this video and grabbed my cell phone to take screenshots. Thanks for that wonderful suggestion! Sun mapping is something that I never did early on when planting shrubs, trees, and perennials, and I learned a few things the hard way. I also did not place things in the landscape according to the mature size, so as a result, I had some shrubs overgrow their location. Since then, I've subsequently limbed up several shrubs into multi-trunk tree forms, which look so much better, and I can leave them where I originally planted them. Other ones had to be removed. Gardening and landscaping can be such wonderful teachers! I hope your family is having a great summer! ~Margie🌞🌿🦋🌦️
You can also take screen shots from your computer. Hit the windows button and print screen button at the same time. When I found this out, it was a game changer for me. lol
Very informative video. I'm going to do the light test this weekend so I can make sure I get the right hydrangea for my yard. Love, love, love your TH-cam channel. You and Laura are my favs.
There is so much information in this video! Your explanations, descriptions, suggestions are incredibly helpful so much so I have watched this particular video about 5 times! 😂☺️ Thank you so much
I love hydrangeas! Great video! I'm in 9a and they grow well here.I'm still struggling at 204 subscribers on my little garden channel but I'll get there one day! Don't give up on your dreams guys! Keep grinding!
Good morning, Jenny ☕️ What a fantastic explanation of all the Hydrangeas 🙌🏻. I love how Proven Winners has developed the dwarf sizes. You can’t beat the blooms. Have a Blessed Day 😊🌺
Thanks for this video. So informative. My daughter-in-law was just telling me today she wants to plant a hydrangea. I had took her a bouquet of my little limelight that I got from you and planted this early spring. They are blooming and have so many blooms on them. I cut me and her a bouquet. I shared this video with her to watch. Then she can decide what one is right for her. My big limelight I bought from you hasn't bloomed yet. It is full of buds, so I can't wait for it to bloom. It is 2yrs old. 🤗
I planted 3 years ago tiny tuff stuff. It got very hot very fast and the hydrangea wilted all summer. Spring came and i moved it, it grew well but very few blooms. Spring came and i moved it again 😂 so far its doing well and blooming better. Loved this video Jenny!
Jenny, you did it again! I watched your hydrangea tutorial 1 or 2 years ago and commented that your explanation of hydrangeas was the absolute best. This one is every bit as good, if not better. Thank you so much. (You forgot to tell everyone to get their pen and notebook to take notes. You told us to do that on your earlier tutorial. I did and I've still got those notes!)
Thank you so much for this excellent presentation! We planted 3 Little Lime's last year and love them. I was hesitant because we have deer and elk on our property but so far they haven't nibbled on them. I'm inspired to plant more hydrangeas even though it's a risk in my garden. Your hydrangeas are beautiful!
My husband just old me last night I should buy a few more hydrangeas! 🙌👏😆 So this video is perfect timing. We are in zone 7a and we just moved onto our new property, so there are lots of areas in need of plants. We currently have 3 lime light hydrangeas, 1 blue ice, and 1 incrediball hydrangea. I have a spot that gets sun until about 1pm then shade the rest of the afternoon and evening. I am thinking maybe the bobo hydrangea and perhaps something that I can turn blue as well. Any recommendations on one that will turn blue that won’t break in storms? Thanks! -Cara
I agree, GREAT explanation on hydrangeas. I learned so much. Going to watch again & take notes. I am also in zone 7B in Virginia. Lots of clay soil. I planted 5 Limelights in ground & the rest ( different varieties) in pots. Thanks again for the video!!!
Explained so well, thank you! I have one that I'm beginning to love also that nobody is talking about though. Hydrangea Game Changer. I picked up a few in small containers this Spring. They were in bloom at the time and they've not stopped blooming at all. They seem to be happy in part shade and almost all day sun (zone 6b). Love their lace cap flowers and their dark green leaves.
Hi Jenny. This was a very helpful content. Thank you. I’m surprised you didn’t mention any of the oakleaf hydrangeas. They are my favorite. Especially Gatsby Pink.
Thank you! This is the best inforamtion on hydrangeas I have found. I now know there is a hydrangea for places I didn't think I could grow one. Thank your Mama for trying! Thank you for your videos Jenny.
I am in Zone 7B and I planted 2 Fire Light Tidbits this spring that get morning sun. The heat this year, we're in day 15 of over 100 temps, has really hurt these little guys. One of them is doing fine, the other has turned brown. It's still alive, but has sadly dropped all leaves.
Thank you so much for sharing all these tips and showing us how you run your garden. Really cool to see other people's experiences. Thank you again for sharing.
Jenny, you are speaking one of my garden love languages when you share about hydrangeas! Love this so much and have experimented here in my hot as heck zone 8a in north Central Texas. But my hydrangeas in the ground and in pots are all doing wonderful with the exception of one limelight which is really stumping me as it did great last year and all the other little limelights are beautiful again this year too. And my old mophead in the ground for years now from my home state of Arkansas is doing great too. So I'm planning for more hydrangea plantings next year too, especially after your video today. It's always an adventure in the garden and I love spending my mornings with you in your gorgeous gardens.
I love finding fellow Texans! I’m in 8B Dallas area. I was wondering what you use to improve drainage in our clay and how much you water if you use drip. I really don’t know how to assess the water amount on drip. Also, how many hours of sun do your hydrangeas get? I have eastern and western exposure. Lucky me, lol. Thank you so much!
Such an informative video Jenni! I love your content; it’s happy, interesting, educational and inspires me to create a garden! I’m taking written notes now and learning so much! Thank you! Hope you know you are making a lovely contribution to the gardening world and beyond!
So helpful! I am a mature gardener, but I ALWAYS learn so much watching your vlogs, thank you! I love hydrangeas and have been considering new varieties for my yard.
Once again this hydrangea video is the best. You explain all the details in such a way that we can understand hydrangeas and with the pictures makes it more knowledgeable. Thanks so much 👍
This was the best video ever for explaining hydrangeas! Fantastic! I’ve subscribed. I have some older macrophylla ones that are so finicky! Right now I have several in my full Sun area (which now I know it’s probably the wrong spot) but they are in bloom! Last year or two - just leaves! I just bought Bobos and Little Limes - they are doing great. I tried Incrediball blush - not doing great where I have them - I get Sun in my front yard there but only about 5 hours worth. Bobos in the same bed are doing much better. Great idea - Sun mapping. I tried Suncalc - and it’s accurate but can’t tell you morning or afternoon Sun! Thanks for your great video.
My invincibelle limetta and spirit are the star of my backyard in 7b. They do get morning shade and hot, direct mid-day sun, then dappled shade but they’re on drip irrigation. The other benefit of both the Annabelle and serrata over the big leaf hydrangeas is they attract bees - not heavily but they do. I also have invincibelle lace - a native lace cap hydrangea. It’s definitely an informal woodland look but also a great plant.
Great video! So informative. I put three hydrangea in my garden this spring. One was the Little Lime, she’s just blooming now! Oh she’s so pretty. I enjoy this type of video because you give so much more detail about the plant. There’s only so much room on the pot tags. I’ve done sun mapping, and it is very helpful. I gifted my nephew this spring to plant his front flowerbed. I called him and asked him to take pictures every hour! I do have a question, if I plant a hydrangea in a pot, will it winter over? I’m a zone 7b- I live in Philadelphia area, you’re in North Carolina and we’re the same zone! Thank you so much Jenny!
Thank you so much for this video. It is very much appreciated. NC Zone 7b. I’m researching which hydrangea to plant in the front of my house. So it’s front and center. I need to choose wisely. Thank you, thank you. ❤❤❤
I just can’t believe it! I’ve never been into hydrangeas, but I finally dipped my toes in and purchased two huge 5 gallon Limelight’s. And then I look and see my favorite gardening channel has a whole video on PW hydrangeas! Love it! I’m trying to take in all of the information you’re giving me. It’s very nerve-racking being my first hydrangeas! They are already so big and beautiful and I don’t wanna mess them up and kill them, lol! I’m a little nervous because I live in New Orleans in zone 9A, which is the very end of the spectrum for the limelight’s so I’m hoping they can take our hot humid southern weather! It will be an experiment for sure! It’s a little confusing because I noticed your video descriptions on the screen said the Limelight’s were zone 3-8. Also, I’ve seen it somewhere else that said the same thing, that they only went to zone 8. But on the proven winners website, it says it goes to zone 9A. I don’t know if that’s something that has changed over the years. I’ve heard a lot of talk about proven winners making their hydrangeas more sun tolerant. But either way, I’m on the VERY end of the spectrum so it makes me really nervous. I plan on putting them into 2 huge whiskey barrels I have in my front yard. And then I will probably transfer them into my garden sometime next year. Thanks so much for all of the great tips Jenny… It’s much appreciated!
This was SO helpful! I’ve stayed away from hydrangeas for our landscape bc I knew some had different light requirements. After watching, I feel confident to go and shop for a few! Thanks again!!
Thank you for all the Great information. I am a new gardener and am excited about putting a hydrangea in my garden; your terrific information has helped me to better understand all my choices. Thanks Rebekah in NC.
Great compilation of a lot of hydrangeas! I am really wanting to add some lace caps to my garden. I’m thinking tough stuff might be a good one. I do have to be concerned about deer. They love my limelights. I try to stay on top of it with sprays which help. They also love my Indian hawthorns and even my knockout roses! I have not had a rebloom on my roses because of them.
I really enjoy your videos you have such gorgeous plants I live in a little north of Birmingham Alabama and I know what hot and sticky is so I think I’m like seven maybe 7B it’s it’s hard to know really so hot and sticky I do understand and I have to be careful what a plant and be sure I keep them watered so I hope you have a great day thank you for all your valuable information
Jenny you are a wealth of information! Now I’m thinking I need one of each hydrangea in my gardens👒. Let me see, should I start another new flower bed?! Maybe across the road….. Love your channel. Thank you! 💗🌸🌺🌷🌼🌹🪴🌲
This was an excellent video. I often wondered if my zone 3B shade / sun was different than your zone 7B shade / sun. I have hostas that do very well in full sun, even though they are a part shade plant. They would fry in your zone. I could probably put these shade loving hydrangeas in full sun. Thanks so much. I really appreciate all your information.
I planted two Firelight Tidbits last fall and I am absolutely obsessed with them. They are absolutely chock full of blooms, getting ready to put on a big show for such a little plant.
Great video and breakdown of the different types of hydrangeas. Their are so many varieties to choose from, thanks for the info and love the presentation.
Thanks Jenny for the excellent information. It reminded me that I had an old Annabelle hydrangea that had been in the wrong location, so I moved it this morning. Appreciate the reminder!
I took so many notes! Thank you for this! I LOVE hydrangeas and live in Atlanta and still struggle tbh! Also really appreciate the sun mapping tips. Makes sense but had no idea how to do it easily and effectively! Love your videos and gardens.
Hi Jenny, great video about Hydrangeas. I thought all are same with the sun. Only knew about it gives flowers in different colours for different type of soil. Great help . Thank you 😊
This was great I never was able to have hydrangeas until we took a huge maple tree down now I have more sun and I’ve been planting hydrangeas mainly pinky winky and Bobo I really love them
I seen Let’s Dance Blue Jangles at my garden center. I wasn’t ready to buy yet (we are building a new house) but it was absolutely stunning. Just gorgeous!!
What a great breakdown of hydrangeas!! There are so many new selections it has been hard for me to decide which is the best fit for my spaces!!! This is a great help!! Thanks :)

Wow! Ok. You are right - don’t hear about this one much. Do you prefer this one to incrediballs?
@@KellyFlowers1968 For arborescens I have Wee White, Annabelle, Sublime, Lime Rickey, and of course Limetta. I haven't grown Incrediball, so I can't compare. Is Incrediball a rebloomer?

I don't know for sure if Incrediball is a rebloomer, but I think it is. I am just now dipping my toe into the arborescens family. That's very telling if you grow all those different varieties and Limetta is the star. Im going to find a Limetta somewhere this spring! So glad I came back to this video - THANKS again!
Where is 7a? I’m in NY zone 7. I’d like to try those hydrangeas!
BEST EVER!!! I don't think anyone has explained all the different hydrangeas so well! I imagine this video will be referred to over and over as a reference for hydrangeas. I know I will. Very thankful and appreciate you sharing your experiences with them. So helpful.
I really wish they would come out with a blue panical hydrangea.
I’m still waiting too, I absolutely love blue hydrangeas!!!
We’ve never have paniculatas here in Spain, but I found one yesterday… and here you are, telling me how to grow it!! Couldn’t be happier with this video!! Thaaaanksssss
Wow Jenny! This was an incredible delivery of very helpful information!! Thank you so much!!!

Recognized the Carolina wren serenading you in the background--needed this video!!!

Sounds like tuff stuff is tough in cold climates, not the hot ones.
This video was one of my favorites! I took lots of notes and helped me to better understand the different kinds! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this valuable info! I’m in Kansas zone 6 🌻 I’ve saved this in my TH-cam folder for gardening.💚
Thank you Jenny. This was so very helpful. What I've been looking for for years.
The pruning tips for pinnacle hydrangeas are very helpful!
Your garden where your standing Jenny is looking exceptionally full and beautiful. Thank-you also for breaking down the family hydrangeas.
Oh my goodness! That scene of the garden at the beginning of the video was stunning!
Jenny, you did it again! I watched your hydrangea tutorial 1 or 2 years ago and commented that your explanation of hydrangeas was the absolute best. This one is every bit as good, if not better.

I’m so happy! I’m wanting a hydrangea for shade that is not too large This video is perfect!!!!
Hello fellow gardeners. Thanks Jenny for sharing your knowledge with us. Have a blessed day.
Excellent, to the point and no unnecessary add-on, your an example to others how it's done, I've really enjoyed your advise.
Thank you for sharing the subtle differences between these lovely hydrangea varieties!

Great information! I am so grateful you spoke about “sun mapping,” and suggesting to take hourly pictures! Good stuff! Thank you.
I'm new to NC so this video is SO helpful!! The most comprehensive overview of my favorite plant. Thank you!!
Once again this hydrangea video is the best. You explain all the details in such a way that we can understand hydrangeas and with the pictures makes it more knowledgeable. Thanks so much 👍
The best explanation for different types of Hydrangeas ever. Thanks a lot!
So glad you enjoyed it!

Great, informative video. BTW, I'm loving my PW Pinky Winky hydrangea! I was enchanted by the Carolina Wren calling at the 9:00 mark.
Wow- amazing hydrangea video !!!! Thank you Jenny 🌳🌳🌳

💜🧡💜
Great compilation of a lot of hydrangeas! I am really wanting to add some lace caps to my garden. I’m thinking tough stuff might be a good one. I do have to be concerned about deer. They love my limelights. I try to stay on top of it with sprays which help. They also love my Indian hawthorns and even my knockout roses! I have not had a rebloom on my roses because of them.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! It answered all my questions about specific hydrangeas I have thought about putting in my garden. Thank you!
Omg your background is so amazing!! Everything looks so alive and radiant 😍
Love the sun mapping idea! ☀️⏰ xx
I really enjoy your videos you have such gorgeous plants I live in a little north of Birmingham Alabama and I know what hot and sticky is so I think I’m like seven maybe 7B it’s it’s hard to know really so hot and sticky I do understand and I have to be careful what a plant and be sure I keep them watered so I hope you have a great day thank you for all your valuable information
Just bought a rescue Fire Light Tid Bit and I can't wait to see it flourish next season! Lovely breakdown.
What a gorgeous garden background for this video.
Great info too.
Awesome video. What a nice surprise around minute 21:24. 😍 hummingbird feeding on the cannas. (I think that's what they are) 👏👏😍
Jenny you are a wealth of information! Now I’m thinking I need one of each hydrangea in my gardens👒. Let me see, should I start another new flower bed?! Maybe across the road…..
Love your channel. Thank you!
💗🌸🌺🌷🌼🌹🪴🌲
Aww...no mention of a Phantom. Phantom is a stunner in my garden!
This is a fantastic video! Thank you!
This was an excellent video. I often wondered if my zone 3B shade / sun was different than your zone 7B shade / sun. I have hostas that do very well in full sun, even though they are a part shade plant. They would fry in your zone. I could probably put these shade loving hydrangeas in full sun. Thanks so much. I really appreciate all your information.
I planted two Firelight Tidbits last fall and I am absolutely obsessed with them. They are absolutely chock full of blooms, getting ready to put on a big show for such a little plant.
I planted 3 this spring and am anxiously awaiting their first blooms! I know I will love them!!👍🌸👍
Great job on teaching the different hydrangeas
Great video and breakdown of the different types of hydrangeas. Their are so many varieties to choose from, thanks for the info and love the presentation.
Thanks Jenny for the excellent information. It reminded me that I had an old Annabelle hydrangea that had been in the wrong location, so I moved it this morning. Appreciate the reminder!
Now i understand well what to do and location to put hydrangea

Great information Jenny. Love it. All my hydrangeas are doing great. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I took so many notes! Thank you for this! I LOVE hydrangeas and live in Atlanta and still struggle tbh! Also really appreciate the sun mapping tips. Makes sense but had no idea how to do it easily and effectively!
Love your videos and gardens.
Oh my goodness, so much information! I loved this!
What a great video. There are so many varieties, it was nice to have this great guide. Thank you so much
great idea about taking hourly photos of a location to see if a hydrangeas will work in a specific spot
GREAT info! Even living in zone 6a your info was general enough to translate to our area. THANK YOU!
When should I plant a full sun hydrangeas in a zone 8a? Best info ever!!
Thank you, thank you!! What a wonderful overview and so helpful to know what hydrangeas are best!!!
Hi Jenny, great video about Hydrangeas. I thought all are same with the sun. Only knew about it gives flowers in different colours for different type of soil. Great help . Thank you 😊
