Wish I lived closer so I could actually see this magical garden in person! It's simply gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with everyone!

Your gardens are beautiful! Thank you for sharing the top ten of your beautiful hydrangeas! This was so informative and your placement of the hydrangea gardens are just perfect!

Consider growing quercifolia ‘Ruby Slippers’. Beautiful flowers, shockingly rich fall color, and fits nicely into cozy gardens.

I brought a Hass Hallo from American Meadows online last fall. It was tiny but it made it through winter. It grew well this spring and had blooms on it and we got hale that just flattened it but it came back it’s about 3 ft tall and full of blooms. I believe it’s going to be a winner. Love it.

Glorious collection of hydrangeas! Simply stunning blooms.

You sure do an amazing job with your garden. Just lovely.

I finally caved and bought one- a Nikko Blue for $7.84 from Walmart; I was not a fan of hydrangeas (I think because everyone had them here in my neighborhood) but I saw a video of hers showing how she decorated her evergreen 🌲 tree with dried hydrangea blooms for Christmas decor and I was intrigued and wanted to do the same. Although, not sure if it Nikko Blue blooms will still look pretty dried vs what she had that was more pink/red.

I’m really not a big fan of Hydrangeas either because all you hear is Hydrangea this and Hydrangea that and EVERYONE has them. I do have a few but I’m NOT a Hydrangea collector for sure. And I don’t think that I ever will be. Hostas a different story. 💐💚🙃

@@judymckerrow6720 lol 😆 I get you! Funny thing is I was always wanting a snowball viburnum (I know, the irony is not lost on me 😂) vs the “beloved” hydrangeas and they had a deeply discounted one at Lowe’s but I decided to pass as they will get very large and I may be moving to a zone 9 🔥 before I can enjoy 😭 I have some hostas - a few varieties as well I bought on discount, didn’t think I’d like them but it was gratifying seeing them bloom so big after purchasing them at $8 a piece and they looked “pathetic”

I am a big fan of hydrangea . I already like them before I know their name. 😀

Hydrangea is my favorite perennial in the garden. So reliable and stunning.

So beautiful garden❤

Within the past year between watching your Hydrangea Room and those throughout your yard plus another KZreadr I’m hooked. Slowly adding more to our gardens. My favorite right now is the Eclipse Hydrangea. Looked high and low for it in our area, with no luck. But a close friend found them in MD and was sweet enough to deliver to me. Up to 20 different Hydrangeas with different bloom times and colors. Thank you for the inspiration, your choices I really trust since you’re about an hour plus west of us. 🌻🌻🌻

Our top choice for oakleaf is *definitely* snowflake - but if you don’t have the space we are really liking Snowcicle which is sited in our new ‘woodland’ garden space in the breaks of the canopy. But if you are looking for one for bee forage - go with Alice … bigger but really lovely

i love my oak leaf! its massive, has a incredible scent and seems impossible to perish-despite a puppy attack and a lawn mower

I lovwd watching this fabulous video on hydrangeas and seeing them in your beautiful garden. Thank you.

I'm so envious of your nico blue hydrangeas! Have you seen the First Editions new smooth/Arborescens Hydrangea for 2025 called FlowerFull? The blooms look more fuller and dense and the stems look thicker then the Incrediball!

Beautiful

I have watched this so many times times. I jut LOVE your hydrangea room!! You’re so talented!!

Your videos are informative and inspirational. I have a hydrangea problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. It was an overachiever this year producing huge blooms and lots of them. It has caused the bush to open and limbs to fall very low. I removed some blooms to try to help with the weight but I really don't know how far back to cut them. I'm sure my past pruning has something to do with this. The Bush is over 8 feet tall. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I was going to send a picture of the bush but I have not figured out how to do that.

Absolutely stunning!

So beautiful. I just got a First Edition Eclipse. A Red Leaf red flowering. Pops on my mid morning afternoon shade.

Hi Danielle, thank you for showing the different hydrangeas and explaining the amount of sunlight and shade they receive. The information is very helpful! I’ve been building my hydrangea collection! And then I have to create more gardens to plant them! I have to find those Hass Halo ones! 🥰🌸🇨🇦

Great exhibit of hydrangeas! I have about 10 myself and they're still maturing. Definitely always want/ need more after seeing your videos

Thank you! 😊

Love your dog enjoying the gardens!!!!!

Hi Danielle, my Gatsby star Oakleaf hydrangea has only exploded this year, after four years of being in probably 60% shade under a huge basswood tree that got pruned up about two years ago. So I think more sunlight helped. I just bought the Gatsby gal Oakleaf hydrangea. I planted it nearby . I absolutely love my Tuff stuff mountain hydrangea and will probably get another one.🥰🌸🇨🇦

I love hydrangeas, but do not have a large garden space. At my previous house I Nikko Blue, but have not been able to find one in years. I live in Michigan zone 6a. I really like Incrediball hydrangeas and I have a Fire Light and 3 Fire Light Tidbits. I really enjoy your videos.

I would love a hedge of blue hydrangea, unfortunately not hardy in my zone in Norway, I have 2 hydrangea paniculata they are 6 years old and still tiny but surviving 😅. I want to buy hydrangea paniculata Annabelle, it thrived in our earlier home a little more south in norway. Maybe that will do better here.

So pretty 😍

I have four Gatsby Gal hydrangeas in zone 5B. Mine are in a location that gets sun from about 1230 on. Mine have also been slow, but steady growers.

I have a hydrangea m. Shooting Stars…. Gorgeous zone 9b

Beautiful garden. I'm thinking of adding a hydrandgea hedge. This helps me so much . I'm also in SE PA. I have a hedge of Blue Billow from White Flower Farm that is peak electric blue right now.

I ❤ hydrangeas. Unfortunately so do deer. 😢

Thank you Danielle!

Tuff stuff is my favorite of these! I have one in my garden but the deer keep eating it

Every hydrangea I’ve ever planted in my garden has perished unfortunately. Not enough shade. So I really admire all your beauties!! - Julie

Danielle, do you know why I buy hydrangaes at stores that look wonderful and when I get them home and cut them and put them in the vase, they wilt. I've read about dipping in boiling water, etc. What's your secret? Your arrangements are absolutely stunning!! ❤💐❤

Your garden is stunning!

Thank you Danielle, beautiful and informative video! Do you have to add soil acidified to keep your Nikko Blue that color? Just lovely! 🤗

Love hydrangeas! Thank you Danielle. Do you do anything special to the cut flowers so they don't collapse.

Gorgeous!!!!!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

So pretty, do the deer bother your hydrangeas or other plants?

Your garden is gorgeous already! We are just starting to get color here in WI. I love love the mountain hydrangeas and need to find a spot for one. I am also desperate for a “Great Star”, does anyone know why they don’t sell that one anymore? I NEED one! 😉

I'm in Zone 8 and I have some Nikko Blue Hydrangeas that border my front patio. They get about 6-7 hours of full sun and at the end of the day, they look limp and thirsty; however, in the morning they look happy and fresh. I used to think that when they look parched in the late afternoon, they needed water, but come to find out, I was watering them too much. Danielle, should I move them more in a shadier location? I hate to see them look limp when I get home from work.

Wish I could grow that many, but the deer won’t let me 😢 We moved a tardiva into a protected area and have one remaining panicle (‘Vanilla Strawberry’) but I wish I could grow the oakleaf type. They’re my favorite. I also saw one called h. aspera a while back that has white felting under the leaves.

Oh my, your hydrangea room is looking gorgeous! I think hydrangeas make for a very romantic garden. Can you tell me which of these are blooming on new wood? I have 6 hydrangeas that came with the house, and they bloom on old wood. 95% of the buds are frozen off each winter in our zone 5/6 garden. We are going to try a burlap wrap this winter otherwise we should replace. The white hydrangea that blooms on. new wood does great. I am slowly adding to our garden.

Panicle hydrangeas like limelight also bloom on new wood, and flower later in the season. Danielle has several beautiful ones in her garden! Limelight is foundational in my garden. I am adding four or five varieties of smooth leaf hydrangeas to get their earlier blooms. Danielle, thank you for all you share. You have helped me to transform my garden 🌿🌿🌿

Hi Angela! I would recommend a mountain or bigleaf hydrangea.

You said your summers are hot and humid. What are your afternoon temperatures like? I am in coastal southeastern NC, zone 8b. We get SO hot. I think an Invincibel hydrangea would cook in our afternoon sun.

Danielle do you find your hydrangeas do not hold up in your flower booth with the heat?

Hi Danielle, beautiful! Question, you have a front of the border grass type plant showing well at 1:10 in front of the driveway border, what is it? It is exactly what I have been searching for! Thank you Brenda🇨🇦

Only certain types of big leaf hydrangea will change color and it’s down to soil pH. I’m guessing she naturally has a more acidic soil.

I’m intrigued by plant name pronunciation. There is hydrAngea pronounced with a long “A” and then the Danielle pronunciation of a short “a” hydrangea. Although from time to time it also comes out as a long “A”. Is this a local Pennsylvania thing? The way your grandma pronounced it?

I have an invincible ruby but the blooms flop over. Do your invincible ruby blooms flop? Is there anyway to strengthen the stems?

I have a limelight hydrangea in my backyard. I’ve been here for 3 years and never got to see a single bloom because of deer browsing. I am trying a repellent this year but I’m not convinced it’s going to make much of a difference. 😢

Hi Danielle, like your other subscribers I started watching you because of your hydrangea room. I'm a fellow hydrangea lover, in 2 years I've planted over 25 hydrangeas in my new garden in Northern Illinois zone 5B: Endless Summer, Little Lime, Bobo, Quick Fire Fab, Bloomstruck, Twist N Shout lace cap, Let's Dance Sky View & Let's Dance Lovable. Although Paniculata's are so much less effort, I still have a real love for the Big Leaf varieties and still working hard to get the blue/purple colors in my low acidic soil using coffee grinds and soil acidifier. I've just started my new KZread channel, hope you'll check me out. Anne @MartinHouseFlowers 💚👩🏻‍🌾💚
