Hydrangeas are a popular plant in urban backyards, especially in Boston and beyond. To ensure the best growth, choose a part shade location with full morning and afternoon shade, shelter from drying winds, and a minimum hardiness zone of 5-6. Soil should be rich, well-drained, and mulched to retain soil.

Found the other website a month ago and this one just now and am loving it. I’ve had to change and watch the articles after work. I’ve been late a couple of times 😬 because I so enjoy it. It’s like the best book, you gotta keep reading. It’s like a bag of potato chips, you gotta finish the bag cause it’s sooo good. Same for these articles.. once I start, I have to complete the vision 😂 and watch the WHOLE thing. You are so inspirational and you can tell your heart is in it. I have to absolutely love a website to SUBSCRIBE and yours was a no brainer. Keep up the great work and I’ll keep perusal. You’re such an inspiration. 💝
I literally just finished perusal the tour with my wife and saw this pop up. I love those limelight’s and I really think they will do awesome. Wish you would have planted them before they bloomed but please do not give up. If they do not do well they will get use to the sun by the first full year. All our panicul hydrangeas from last summer our doing so much better than the first year and are way stronger. We have not had any scorching this year like we had the first year. We are in a zone 8a and they are doing great. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
I hope those hydrangeas do good for you they are so beautiful when in bloom. I am just so aggravated right now. Can’t decide what I want to plant where. Just moved to a place and we laid grass seed and spread hay over it and some of it came up some didn’t. So now we have to go back and try again. Then we have to make a plan about a garden. I want a butterfly garden first then as the years go by make different gardens. Wish me luck. Here in Southern Tennessee. I love what you and Aaron have done with your place.
Hey I didn’t know you had the second website? I’m so glad I bumped into it. I hope you’re able to read my comment. Huge supporter watch you every time you post. Thank you for teaching me things that I kind of knew about but I love being reassured and learning the names of plants. I have a huge green thumb and I can grow anything but you have great info . So anyways My neighbor has the same hydrangea bush/tree in the full sun and it’s the same size and in the ground. It’s absolutely 100% gorgeous and in full bloom. We are in July and it lasts a long time with the same blooms. I live in Port Orchard Washington 55 minutes away from West Seattle Washington. Yours will do well as well. Hugs from Charlie’s chicks website.
Our Limelight Hydrangea is in full sun and it does GREAT. However, I’m in a different zone than you are Laura (I’m in 6 or 6b depending on which chart you’re looking at) and in a different climate (I’m in southwest MI near the lakeshore – so we can get some high temps and high humidity in the summer). Pollinators LOVE these things – at any given time you can find a dozen or more different kinds buzzing around it. Ours is near our garden, too, so that’s a bonus!
I bought two limelight hydrangeas back in May, I probably should have waited to plant them till the fall. I am in Missouri and the spot I picked I thought got enough shade. First year in my home, I was wrong they stressed and I did not move them quick enough and lost them. I will try again but in a different location. Love your garden.
I LOVE limelights. I am a small flower farmer in No. California and limelights are the star. I have loads of hydrangeas of all colors but these bloom heads get bigger and bigger each year. Mine get very tall even though I do cut them back somewhat each year. My only problem with them? they happen to grown near a light sensor light and on windy nights, the outside lights keep going on!!! Ha Ha
GORGEOUS! I have a paniculata by my driveway, gets sun literally ALL DAY, by hot black icky asphalt. It is gigantic. I planted it maybe 10 yrs ago and it was a tiny little thing. Right now, it’s reaching the roof of my porch and is about 6-8 feet wide. I pruned the heck out it this year because it was getting nuts, well that just made it grow even bigger. It’s going to love it where you planted it. 🙂 Perfect spot. Plant me there, I’ll be happy.
Hi laura. I was wondering if you had any articles on lavender. How to maintain them. We have some in the garden (french munstead) that have gone really woody and would love to replace them and start again but would love to know when and how to prune them correctly. Thank you for all your great articles I’ve learnt so much from them.
Thanks for sharing this! I’m happy to see it the addition to the veggie garden. :). Next year I think I’m also gonna cross my fingers and hope planting some hydrangea in full sun will go okay (2 or 3 to screen an unfortunately-placed power transformer). I’m gulf coast so it gets hot too, but we have TONS of humidity. I was going to try Incrediball but maybe Limelight would be better. I hope these grow for you!!
What if your leaves start falling off from the bottom up(wilted and turned yellow)? I planted two of these and one isn’t doing to well. I am trying to bring it back and is my focus these past weeks. I have blooms(never turned white) maybe 4 node leaves on each branch remain. Check the soil moisture each day (worried I maybe overwatered them). I did plant both in extreme heat so it may be still stressed.
I would think leaving the terra cotta planters in there gives a fresh look, its beautiful with it either way but to me it gives it a different look to break up the green in the garden to a,” not so much green” in the Garden. How can I find Lavender plants to transplant for my newbie garden ? Home depot don’t have them in stock and I do not want to order it to get in them in the mail. I live in the ‘Hood, and I would NEVER never see the plants arrive via USPS, LOl
