How to Plant and Care for Hydrangea Bushes

Before you dig it up, if you have the plant tag, review the plant’s needs, especially re sunlight. If you do not, take a picture anad show it to domeone at a local nursery. You might be able to save it.
I ordered this online ,I didn’t think it would arrive until close to time to plant in my zone which is 8. How do I keep it alive until mid April? Paid to much for it !
Will Limelight hydrangea thrive in full sun in zone 9 if it gets plenty of water?
Water is important but it is not always the solution to extreme heat. If you can find a way to give the plant some protection (say, on the shadier side of a building) it will benefit more than it will with constant or excess water,
I have some climbing hydrangeas that I would like to grow up and over a fence. Just wondering how far apart I should plant them. Any ideas?
Thanks :)
Plant them about 7 feet apart.
It is late January. I want to dig up my small bush. It's about 20 inches tall. Can this be done? How would I go about doing it? It is special to me and I am moving from my current home. Thank you.
Dig wide around it, taking as much soil as possible; don’t dig it to bare root. Put it into a pot and plant it in spring, well after the ground thaws.
I have a Bobo hydrangea and Bloomstruck hydrangea, neither of which bloomed this year. The shrubs were healthy and vibrant, but out of 3 shrubs, no blooms! They are 3 years old. I live in zone 4b. I believe I pruned them in late fall last year certainly after the first frost. Could it be that I pruned them too early?
I would like to plant some hydrangeas in my yard. Our town has an overpopulation of deer. Do deer eat hydrangeas? They seem to eat everything else. Thanks.
