I live in zone 5b in Colorado and because of our elevation we have harsh sun. I have some in full sun and they do well but they get shade starting around 2. I’ve tried some in another place where they are in shade all day until about 3. The harsh late afternoon sun burns them so badly. Don’t be afraid to move them if they don’t do well. I have found them to be forgiving.

I am obsessed with hydrangeas as well. I planted a wall of limelights and they are performing beautifully. I also planted a hedge of Bobo hydrangea on either side of our front property (inspired by Heidi from Garden Crossing) and they are looking magical - especially in the evening like you had mentioned that they have a glow to them -- this is very true. I'm most proud of taking a Limelight hydrangea shrub and turning it into a standard by selecting the longest strongest stem and staking it - it turned out beautifully and year two is looking lovely. I loved this hydrangea tour and I learned a few tips -- Zone 5b as well 🇨🇦

Firelight tidbits are ones of my favorites as well. Last year I bought my dad two almost mature size ones. Because they were so huge, they were expensive- $60 each. They look even better this year than last year. He really enjoys them. He had no hydrangeas because he wasn’t aware of all the new ones for full sun.

Gorgeous garden you two! I've just ordered many of the hydrangeas you've got. I'm re-doing a few sections of my yard. Im technically in 9B but my max temp (summer) is usually no more than 70 and minimum is maybe 30 (usually dont freeze). Typically hydrangeas do well here (coastal N. CA) so I'm confused as to why some of the panicles only go to zone 8 but not 9. I thought it might be due to heat but there are plenty of places inland that are 9B and get consistent heat.

Thanks! I do like the look of Little Lime Punch with the beautiful fall colors. Also, can you share the names of some of your companion plants. I noticed a tall blue plant - I think it's a salvia. Thanks!@@growformegardening

This video is from back before we learned a lot about editing. If you look for a tour video from last summer you'll get all the names!

Been watching your hydrangea videos, LOVE them!! Thank you for explaining so throughly each of their growth habit and performance. I'm debating to either to plant a limelight or vanilla strawberry hydrangea hedge. What's your thoughts on those two?

We have both and love them….but if I were you I would look into Quick Fire Fab.

@growforme5b I have that too, and I have collected almost all PW paniculata hydrangeas 😆. Thought about using quickfire fab for hedges, but the growth rate is much slower compared to limelight and VS. Limelight prime is not a good performer compared to quickfire fab in my garden. As far as the height I need to achieve to block our neighbors, limelight or VS would be my choice. I've seen so many limelight hydrangea hedges, beautiful white blooms, but because I have not seen any VS hedge, it makes me wonder if there is a reason they can't be grown as a hedge. I'm kinda stuck, my left and right brains fight constantly, lol...

I only mention the fab because it blooms earlier... I don't think there's any reason NOT to use the VS as a hedge, but I can understand hesitating because you haven't seen one.

@growforme5b I guess I'll do one side of limelight and the otherwise VS. I love quickfire fab, but the growth rate is kinda slower. Thank you very much!

We had some really bad storms recently and my hydrangeas blooms are on the ground! Any suggestions for my babies?

Give them a gentle shake to get the heaviest of the water out and let them dry. Unfortunately once they are smushed they don’t always come back up.

Beautiful hydrangeas! Do you know if Incrediball blush will take full sun in zone 7a?

I'm not sure about that. I feel like there’s a big difference between zone five and zone seven when it comes to hydrangeas in the sun

Beautiful! What’s the plant next to the firelight tidbit hydrangeas with the blue foliage?

How do you overwinter your zone five hydrangeas? I live in zone 5B Chicagoland area and was told not to bother with zone five or higher because they use all their energy putting out growth and then there’s nothing left for the blooms. Any advice you have is truly appreciated. Thank you.

Which variety are you looking to overwinter??

One question: how and when so you fertilize hydrangeas? My little lime punch is not growing much. One bloom in second year. I did move it in the spring. Any suggestions?

We fertilize with rose tone in spring when we prune and then again in July just before the bloom
