These plants grow so big you need to plant them in the ground.
Not sure...I don’t know if it could take continuous sun all day...they like sun and can withstand heat but they also need a break from it and so I would suggest planting it where it can get a break. It’s a beautiful plant but also need a good amount of water...you’ll see the petals wilting which will be your indicator that it needs more water. Try it...they’re not that expensive and it makes for a beautiful shrublike flowering plant!
I would say return it now. I ordered 2 and the leaves were green and so it sounds like you May have received a plant that didn’t survive the travel for some reason. Attached is a photo of what my hydrangea looks like. Good luck
Yes you can plant it now. It will arrive with buds!
This plant is ideally planted in the ground. You’ll need a very good size pot if you can’t put it in the ground for some reason.
My plants were 8-12 inch woody sticks with 2-4 green leaves when they were planted in mid April. Mine was planted in sandy soil under an oak tree with osmocote slow release fertilizer sprinkled around the plant. It was deeply watered once weekly (1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket) starting in June when temps rose to 80s and little rain had fallen. Plants didn't really start to produce leaves until May and then set buds in June with blooming starting the end of June in East Brunswick, NJ (planting zone 7a). Advice on-line said biggest errors people make are planting too deep or back filling planting holes with not loose enough soil; recommendation was 50/50 mix of top soil and peat moss. I only used some top soil since I already have sandy loose soil.
This plant needs to go into the ground
Dear Valuable Homedepot Customer, There is only one plant per box.
I was disappointed to the pointed of being angry. The hydrangea was MUCH smaller than described on line and had absolutely zero blooms.....NOT even ONE SINGLE BUD!
