- Not all hydrangeas are created equal when it comes to bloom time. Here's a peek at the hydrangeas that have opened first for us.
Lots of incredible varieties from @pwcolorchoice @SpringMeadowNursery @FirstEditionsShrubsTrees @ProvenWinnersTH-cam

I love hydrangeas. I can’t stop buying more❤
Hi for the lets dance can do and arriba, did you protect them over winter (e.g. cover with burlap, chicken wire cage w/ leaves or straw)?
We didn't do anything extra to protect them.
I am warning two of my hydrangea’s too. If you guys don’t flower you’ll be out in the garbage periodt
I hope they hear me
You might have to be extra stern with them 🤣
@@UpNorthGardenMI For sure, they’re putting on a huge green growth and expanding but no flower 🌺
OMG, My Summer Crush are my Favorite 😍😍Have a total of 6 in my garden..they start early May and continue to bloom until frost.
Excellent info. Bobo has been a great performer for me in zone 6b. Just got a Quick Fire and hope it doesn’t overwhelm its location. I’ve never planted a large variety. Lol it looks good in my head!
Two of the three Little Lime Punch I planted this spring have been blooming here in Zone 6b for weeks. They are currently a lovely cream color. I am looking forward to seeing how they color up as the season progresses. Thank you for the very thoughtful and informative survey. Even if you have a longer season than Northern Michigan, it is nice to have hydrangeas flowering over a long period. Hydrangeas provide so much garden value for the price of the plant! I have been planting a lot of oakleaf hydrangeas in my wooded areas. They are another early and spectacular bloomer for us and, if happy where they are planted, very easy care. They are also natives and I basically just let them do their thing. Our biggest problem with non-remontant macrophyllas is the deer eating all the buds!
I dream of having a happy oak leaf hydrangea… they struggle with our winters up here. The deer seem to like the hydrangeas even more than I do 😆
I’m in zone 6A. Summer Crush has been an disappointment. They bloomed nicely in the first two years, then they died. However, Quick Fire, Limelight, Endless Summer Original never disappointed us. Tuff Stuff was good for three years, then stopped blooming. I’m all in for panicle Hydrangeas. I just bought 11 of them. They will replace the roses that only bloomed for a month in early summer. Not worthy. I will simplify my garden next year: hydrangeas play the theme with coneflowers and zinnias filling up the gaps between hydrangeas. Of course, the evergreens will stay between the hydrangeas too.
You’ve got quite a collection of hydrangeas going. I’m sure it’s beautiful. Usually when a hydrangea like Tuff Stuff stops blooming (and is otherwise healthy), it needs more fertilizer (we go with a time-release for flowering shrubs/roses). Not sure that’s the case for your plants, but it’s strange they would fade out in a few years… That’s when they’re usually just hitting their stride.
My Little Quick Fire, bought online from Home Depot. 2 Gal 3rd Summer now. I pruned it kind of late, but the stems were quite Leafy so I just stuck 7 of them in cells under the grow lights. No hormone powder I did not trim the leaves. 4 of them are still green and lush. 2 have blooms on them. I probably should cut those off, but I just let them do what they want. If I end up with just 2 living next year I will a happy camper. It has been 8 weeks.☺ Zone 6A 50 miles north of Indy my bush is covered with blooms. About 4 feet wide and 3 ft. tall now.
Bobo isn’t an early bloomer in my garden- at least not early like Quick Fire. I’d say mine is behind Fire Light.
Limelight is ALWAYS late to the party😂😂 In Jersey (7A zone) my limelight don't start to bloom until last week in July/ early August
I live in nj 7b zone and my already look full bloom and a new set of new bloom are about to bloom
Gorgeous! You have one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve seen 🤩!
Oh my gosh! I need to visit. I've been missing the large nurseries downstate. The local garden centers don't carry a large selection of Proven Winners.
Have a little lime curbside hedge on its 3rd summer. Perfect for 7B Oklahoma. In bloom for almost 3 weeks.
Do you think I could train my pop star hydrangea to grow into a tree?
I’ve never seen that type of hydrangea in tree form - its growth habit is different.
Thank you for sharing!! I love ❤️ hearing more about beautiful hydrangea!!!
Thank you. Very helpful
I am in zone 8. I have Bobo hydrangeas. This is my first year with them. Do I cut them completely back in winter?
I’ve got a video to help you trim the Bobo panicle hydrangea Here's how I prune my hydrangeas

Loving my hydrangeas in Zone 7. Unfortunately we don't get the vivid pink colors in our hot humid summers.
Hydrangeas give a bright spot for us in Michigan when the evening temps start to drop way before we’re ready. Some of the new varieties like Little Lime Punch and Limelight Prime and Quick Fire Fab might offer you a bit more color than some of the others.
I’m in zone 7 with high humidity. My limelight primes have shocked me with how well they’ve done in their first year. Full sun and never wilted. Plus they bloomed almost a month before my old limelight’s. And no breaking branches.
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I learned so much today about hydrangeas.
Beautiful...I've just planted a Classic 'ANNABELLE' hedge as we don't have the new and improved 'INCREDIBALL' here in Australia.
You’re right in calling it Classic because it’s still a beauty!
I only have 1 hydrangea, ive had it for about 20 years. It hadn't bloomed yet this tsummer, it dont even have buds on it. I live in zone 6. It came a very late frost this spring
Killed it plum back. I forgot to cover it up with my white sheet. It blooms on old wood, so its not going to bloom at all this summer. It's ok, has done this a few times in the past. Its huge and all leafed out, lush and green. I'll be keeping a close watch on it next spring. Its got all colors on it. Cream, green, purple, blue and pink. Great video, thank you for sharing all these beautiful hydrangeas with us and all the great information ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hopefully next season it’ll put on a great show.
I've just purchased a serrata hydrangea, you mentioned it but didn't actually shown any serrata's which was disappointing
The Let’s Dance Can Do featured in the video is a serrata hybrid. We’re working on getting more for next year, but they need to be zone 4 in our area… many are Zone 5 or higher.
I'm glad I found your channel. I thought something was wrong with my Pinky Winky because it hasn't bloomed (mid July) and it's just a bunch of leaves, but you mentioned it is a late bloomer and sure enough I just noticed a bloom starting. Thank you,
Timing depends on your location/zone. Our Pinky Winky hydrangeas all have buds, but they haven’t opened yet.
The Fire Light tid bit that I planted last autumn, has yet to bloom in my zone 6 garden. It’s perfectly healthy with a lot of leafing out. Why isn’t it blooming for me this summer?
Are you fertilizing with a balanced or a flowering shrub/rose fertilizer? Usually healthy leaves without flowers means they’re getting a lot of nitrogen (like the fertilizer used on lawns), but not enough of the other nutrients needed for producing blooms.
great video!
I have a large deck on the north side of my house. Can I put a multi-colored hydrangea "hedge" (similar to your parent's house) across the front of it? Will they bloom nicely on the north side?
Arborescence hydrangeas (white and pink) normally do great on the north side (as would panicle hydrangeas - there are many dwarf varieties).
If you choose macrophylla hydrangeas (pink and blue) be sure they will grow in your zone and can handle the light conditions.
Place plants based on the recommended spacing on the tag (planting slightly tighter will fill in sooner).
Hope that helps. The staff at a good garden center can recommend plants that will do best in your area.
@@UpNorthGardenMI I live at Grand Lake so I’ll be out to see you in the spring!
HI, what do you think of quick fire fab?
One of my favorites. Blooms so early, large panicles, and turns an intense pink color.
What’s early for you?? I planted one last fall and it’s budding up here in Chicago area.
