4.5 in qt. Gatsby Moon Oakleaf Hydrangea (Quercifolia) Live Shrub, White to Green Flowers

A:  Hello, thank you for asking. We are happy to help! Hydrangeas do not do well in zone 10 as it gets too hot for them to thrive. They need cold weather to inter dormancy for the following season. I hope this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at (734)654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com. Kind Regards, Allie

A:  Hello SriG, thank you for asking we are happy to help. Our Proven Winners Gatsby Moon has a very light fragrance and we do not classify it as 'attracts pollinators' I would suggest our Quick Fire Fab Hydrangea or our Bloomerang Dark Purple Reblooming Lilac! I hope this helps. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us at (734)654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com Kind Regards, Allie

A:  No, we do not use Neonicotinoids. We mainly use bio controls to combat against pests on our plants. We do use pesticides occasionally to ensure you receive a healthy plant with not bad bugs on it. The pesticides we do use are Neonicotinoid free and will not cause harm to any pollinators or humans that touch it. We time the usage of pesticides to ensure that it is not in your plants system at the point of ship. We only use pesticides that have less than a 24-hour active period. All chemicals dissipate long before it is put in a box and shipped to you. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com or (734)654-7485 Kind Regards, Shae

A:  Mine gets periodic sun during the day because of the location and our surroundings. Keep the plant well fed and watered and it should be fine. At least that’s my experience so far. I’m in the NY-NJ area and it seems very happy in this climate. This is a very hearty hydrangea variety and is tolerant of shade even if the timing of when it gets sun and shade isn’t perfect.
