this spring i picked up 3 Spirit II hydrangeas. and 2 are still alive but starting to go to sleep. But one lost its leaves pretty ealy around early august and looks dead. How can i tell if it is still alive? I've continued watering it since I have drip irrigation but i just don't see any signd of life.
You can do a scratch test to see if it's still alive! Simply scratch the main stem with your fingernail- if you see green, it's alive and well and just going dormant. If it's brown, you likely lost it. I would trim back for the fall and wait to pull anything until the spring, though! Maybe it will surprise you :)
Their all so beautiful
Doing a good job but please stand still!
