One of the hardest things to explain to clients is that sometimes there is “no rhyme or reason” plants are like people, some thrive and some fail. Thanks for all of the knowledge you share!!!
Gosh.... totally get it now! LOVE Garden Answer......I am so much more courageous when it comes to my flowerbeds. Thank you Garden Answer for introducing me (novice) to Proven Winners......
Thank you for sharing this! One of the many things I've learned from you is that it's okay not to waste tons of time and energy on plants that just aren't making it. I can relocate struggling plants if I want...but it's also okay to just pull them out and move on. It's kind of freeing!
But can get kind of costly. I like the challenge of saving plants as well... and producing more from one... well I just hacked down my iris leaves at the wrong time. They create a jungle and bloom so early. They are resilient though I've never done this. Had too! Lol❤
Because of her video, I planted a hedge of these this summer! I ordered 3 gallons and they are all covered in blooms. I cant wait for them to start turning the punch color. 😍😍
In older days, in orchards with iron deficiency, people used to drive nails into tree stumps so the plant would slowly take iron from the metal. Btw such hydrangeas somehow thrive in my garden with pH 9.
I needed this video today. I finally bit the bullet and removed a Witchita Blue Juniper that had been struggling ( most likely tip blight). It was so sad because it was finally getting big enough to act as a privacy screen. I had been putting it off for months hoping it would recover but finally accepted today that was a very slim chance. I replaced it with an arborvitae, which typically do much better in my area.
Am excited to see you planting Little Lime Punch today! I planted one in my garden this spring, and it’s blooming coloring up beautifully (central Ohio, 6A, also have alkaline soil). Looking forward to seeing your whole fabulous hedge in bloom when the plants get established!
Hi Laura, I’ve never tuned into your proven winners posts. Always watch your own channel. How nice to see you again today. Ok that’s sound weird! 😂 Anywho, even though I’m in zone 9b so most of my hydrangeas are in pots and in shade. Sadly I don’t see Proven Winners very often and when I do the offerings are scant. Still enjoy all the info! Thx!
Thanks for this video, Laura. I just ordered some Chelated Iron to help my Hydrangeas. I have two, and I am determined to grow them in Zone 9b. I wish they did better in my zone, I would have them all over my home if they did well here. ❤
Thanks for the reminder. We planted a row of Provence Lavender and each one, one by one, dried and died. I think I over fertilized and overwatered 🤷🏽♀️ because they don’t like either of those but honestly? WHO KNOWS. They cost a pretty penny and looked dreamy as they went in, pretty disappointing. That’s gardening.
What do I like about your garden styling, Laura? (I use 'you' as the solution-finder for researching and reporting results). I'm no expert. But I enjoy that you display a drive-by viewing is the formal opportunity of a drive-by viewing while the more intimate realization of a slower excursion at a slower pace from an inward-out view. I've learned so much from you, your family, your team. I thank you all.
💚💜 I was just watching videos on these guys! I like the Bobo plant Iv seen houses over near my end and it's gorgeous. I don't want the tree kind. I found 2 Lil ones at Walmart clearance dying and they are soo healthy doing good. They were blue last yr but pink this yr
They will be pretty, especially since you figured out the soil situation. I'm always amazed how you can dig right next to a tree and not find major roots. I'm, in North Houston (zone 9a) we live in a community that has been carved out of the Southern tip of The Big Piney Woods. We have a lot of Loblolly Pines and other trees. I can't even go out to plant one plant without taking my Falco's to clip the little roots where I am digging. It IS a blessing to have so many trees, but it can be discouraging sometimes. Did I see a new board fence and entry arbor near the drive at the new round patio? Don't recall you talking about it. Thank you for your videos, I never miss one!
I am so happy to view this video today because I was so upset about my vanilla strawberry hydrangea this morning. It has yet to even bud up this year. It's 1 August and no blooms. Plenty of greenery. So, I will move next year. Thanks Laura.
I have a Hydrangea that I add acidifier too to make it blue and when you were talking I realized it could be the problem that I am seeing because I noticed the leaves are starting to turn a bit of yellow with a little bit of veining . So now I am wondering if that acidifier is ruining the soil .
I'm happy to see the garden fail it let's me know I'm not alone on certain plants. I need to check the soil Ph since I have a few plants with yellow leaves turning brown.
So good video. I’m love hydrangea., But have problem with some. And my problem start with leaves. And after they dead. I’m WISH YOU PUT PICTER of NAME and BRAND IRON …
I'm curious, have you had the soil tested? I mean, both the soil around the thriving plants and the failing plants to compare and see if it is a nutrient deficiency? Other deficiencies present similar to chlorosis, with dark veins and yellowing leaves. Sometimes, the soil in one area also needs to be amended to have more or less drainage. Plants can be fickle about moisture.
I just got 5 PW limelight’s…it is almost 100 degrees here (Zone 7) and the shipping was delayed, so they arrived quite stressed. I am wondering if I should wait and plant them in the fall? Right now they are in “ICU” in the original pots so I can keep close watch and baby them.
This link will take you to many hydrangeas that ARE hardy in zone 9, enjoy! www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/advanced?genus=Hydrangea&hardiness-zone=9
My hostas planted under a Maple tree next to some vine maple were turning brown and I thought is was not enough water?? But I read not to plant hostas under maples since they want the water and will take from the hostas.
Perhaps take a picture into your local garden center? It is often very difficult to get anything to grow under a maple since the tree does compete for water and other resources.
Hello Laura; I live in zone 9. I will like to plant one of this little lime punch in my zone. When and where can I order one? If I get one I will give you the feedback on how does in my zone. Thank you
You can order one on this page from our website, but note we do not recommend these for zone 9, you can try it, but be sure it does get a good amount of afternoon shade. Thanks for watching. www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/little-lime-punch-panicle-hydrangea-hydrangea-paniculata
I have planted a wall of little lime punch hydrangeas ( zone 5B) and looking for some companion plants ( in front of the hydrangeas and one in a container. Can you recommend for a nice combination of low maintenance and colours combination ?
This tool might help a bit, homeoutside.provenwinners.com/ but please know that we do not have enough info to truly help....we would need to know type of soil, how much sun does the area get, and quite a few other bits of info. It is best if you take a picture of the area and go to your favorite garden center to discuss options. Thanks for watching!
@@ProvenWinnersRUclips thank you- can you control the size of little lime punches? I have 2 beds about 9 feet long 2 feet wide and planted 4 ( 3 feet apart for a bordered look wrapping my porch. Worried it’s overcrowded now. I just planted all 4 hydrangeas in may. Think I need to widen my bed also but not sure.
Have you ever inserted the spikes of iron directly into the trunk, for very large trees that are suffering iron deficiency? Chelated iron hasn't fixed our problem for an enormous birch and a maple. We're already losing one huge river birch and I'd rather not lose two. Nervous about weakening the tree by installing spikes in the trunk, though. The trees were already mature when we moved here 20 years ago. They were fine until a few years ago.
This hydrangea is only rated through zone 8, please see the link provided at the bottom of this message. And you can try this plant in your zone, but your night temps may not be cool enough to cause the chemical reaction within the plant that helps it to produce blooms. If you are very close to being in a zone 8 you might want to try it, and be sure it receives some afternoon shade. Thanks for watching, www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/little-lime-punch-panicle-hydrangea-hydrangea-paniculata
Hydrangeas...I keep having problems with wind and rain knocking them down when the blooms are on, the stems are not strong enough, what can I do. My biggest challenge is the Little Limes
My pet peve is not knowing where to site a shrub as so far they all seem to get much larger than the tags say and then I have to wack them out. :( Why can't they just be truthful about things on the tag, so frustrating.
Our plants do perform a bit different from garden to garden, since the amount of sun, water and plant food they get is a bit different for everyone. We do test these plants but the sizes we state are dependent on each situation, we are sorry for your frustration!
It might be fill dirt because fill dirt is dead and nothing grows in it. What you need to do is add 6 inches organic topsoil. When you plant your shrubs dig the hole twice the size of the root ball and backfill it with organic dirt. You can also sprinkle slow release iron and fertilizer around each plant.
I love you videos… but it’s strange seeing the application of amendments …im a gardener in the uk and my parents are gardeners …we’ve always put massive amounts of animal manure and compost on the land …my dad would have amazing veg and get tones of pig manure delivered every year …I use sheep , donkeys,cow and chickens manure from our land …is there a reason I haven’t seen this method used 🤔
All we can say is everyone garden's differently, and access to the amendments you are familiar with might not be available to others...but thank you for sharing your experience!
But uploaded today by Proven Winners who partner with Garden Answer. No matter, the content is relevant and now is a good time to plant these panicle hydrangeas.
Thank you Denise! The content that Laura creates for us is timeless, and we came across this in our files and yes, this is when people are thinking about adding to their landscape in the fall. We appreciate you watching.

Same, I ordered 6 to make a hedge in front of patio! I can’t wait! ❤️
We are anxiously waiting for our Hawaiian Punch color!!!
the Hydrageas are going to be so cute, when they bloom!
I just love all the information I learn on here from you .
Laura, you are so generous sharing so clearly all your knowledge, even down to how to space each plant! Thank you!
Love your spokes person! Watch her on a daily basis.
Beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing Laura it looks awesome
I can’t wait to see these as they grow!!! ❤
Love this flower
In older days, in orchards with iron deficiency, people used to drive nails into tree stumps so the plant would slowly take iron from the metal.
Btw such hydrangeas somehow thrive in my garden with pH 9.
My Grandfather use to add iron nails when he planted.
Love these old ways
I’m believe it’ll turn out beautiful!!!
OOOOH I have to have these!!!
I love watching your channel!
Dreamy❣️
I planted 2 of those this year!! ❤
I love hydrangeas. I agree they are worth the effort.

Champion Video , I like your teaching style !
You need a retractable hose in that spot. ❤ I can’t wait to see these lime punches.
I have little lime punch in my garden in the hot sun and they are beautiful. Zone 7b
Am excited to see you planting Little Lime Punch today! I planted one in my garden this spring, and it’s blooming coloring up beautifully (central Ohio, 6A, also have alkaline soil). Looking forward to seeing your whole fabulous hedge in bloom when the plants get established!
Wonderful energetic commentary. May you stay energetic
This is the 3rd time they would be planting hydrangeas in that spot. Hopefully these thrive, I've would've given up already😂
I can hardly wait for this to come out next year. I love the colors it turns!
It's out

So encouraging that if it doesn't work it's ok. Try something else. So beautiful. You work so hard. Looking forward to seeing them blooming.❤❤❤❤
Thx Laura!!!
Hit or miss! Thanks for sharing 😊 Nice, the tree, isnt growing roots in a place to plant how you Want to!!!
Thanks for showing a fail. Such an encouragement!!!

Love seeing failures as well. Thank you for this
Thank you
I had hydrangea’s for almost 3 years and never a bloom until this year when I put epson salt around it. I put a lot at different times
Love hydrangeas! I’m looking for the strawberry sundae variety this season. Really like this Little Limelight Punch, too!
I bought mines from Home Depot’s website..
Great info.. I am in Texas but we have the same plantings . I am watering alot with drip tubing and over head watering. Man it's a hot year....
Will we get this in Australia too next year? Beautiful!
Love the new hydrangias! Is it possible that the roots from the tree are just hogging all the nutrients in that area?
Wow 24 seconds!!!!
They will be pretty, especially since you figured out the soil situation. I'm always amazed how you can dig right next to a tree and not find major roots. I'm, in North Houston (zone 9a) we live in a community that has been carved out of the Southern tip of The Big Piney Woods. We have a lot of Loblolly Pines and other trees. I can't even go out to plant one plant without taking my Falco's to clip the little roots where I am digging. It IS a blessing to have so many trees, but it can be discouraging sometimes.
Did I see a new board fence and entry arbor near the drive at the new round patio? Don't recall you talking about it.
Thank you for your videos, I never miss one!
This is an older video from GA. They partner with PW who put this video up today. 😊
I am so happy to view this video today because I was so upset about my vanilla strawberry hydrangea this morning. It has yet to even bud up this year. It's 1 August and no blooms. Plenty of greenery. So, I will move next year. Thanks Laura.
How long have you had them? I had two for about 6 yrs and they got huge, 7 ft! They were slow to start but my goodness they were beautiful!
My hydrangeas are finally blooming after 2 1/2 years 😢😊
All of my phlox have this issue. Nothing else. Just phlox. I did start treating & they aren't all crispy this year 🙃
I have a Hydrangea that I add acidifier too to make it blue and when you were talking I realized it could be the problem that I am seeing because I noticed the leaves are starting to turn a bit of yellow with a little bit of veining . So now I am wondering if that acidifier is ruining the soil .
I’ve been wanting to try some of these LLP ever since they came out but I’ve never been able to find any good specimens at my local PW garden center.
I'm happy to see the garden fail it let's me know I'm not alone on certain plants. I need to check the soil Ph since I have a few plants with yellow leaves turning brown.
This came out last year or the year before!
So good video. I’m love hydrangea., But have problem with some. And my problem start with leaves. And after they dead. I’m WISH YOU PUT PICTER of NAME and BRAND IRON …

Curious, what variety of boxwood do you have planted in the row? Is there a video talking about those by chance? 😊
I live in Southwest Arizona,I love the Mexican Bird of Paradise,red and the yellow ones. Do you have them?
Sorry to say we do not have a Mexican Bird of Paradise in our plant line, but we appreciate you watching!
Ia there anything in the works for a beautiful 'pink' hydrangea like lime punch for zone 9 in Florida humid, hot, but jealous for this color.
This link will take you to many hydrangeas that ARE hardy in zone 9, enjoy! www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/advanced?genus=Hydrangea&hardiness-zone=9
L link does not work
Why not Espoma Iron Tone?
🙋
Can it grow in zone 9B. High temps to 120 and alkaline soil?
Unfortunately, this hydrangea prefers a sunny spot and does best in zones 3-8.
My ocd I measure for everything
Me too! 😂
Did you pop the pulled out hydrangeas into planters? I hate to see them just go.
Typically Laura will move those to another part of her garden, or donate them.
My hostas planted under a Maple tree next to some vine maple were turning brown and I thought is was not enough water?? But I read not to plant hostas under maples since they want the water and will take from the hostas.

What hydrangea specimen would you recommend if I live in zone nine? I’m in Katy Texas.
I’ve read that white wedding hydrangeas do well in the Houston area.

This question is not in regards to hydrangea but was wanting to know what kind of spruce is growing in the background and what zone does it grow in?
We are not sure of the type of spruce you see, it is a weeping variety but it is not in the Proven Winners line of plants. Thanks for watching!

Hydrangeas...I keep having problems with wind and rain knocking them down when the blooms are on, the stems are not strong enough, what can I do. My biggest challenge is the Little Limes
The stem strength might be weakened due to pruning? See if this article helps, www.provenwinners.com/learn/care/how-prune-your-hydrangea

I wish I win the lottery or Elon Musk feels sorry for me and gives me a million or two. I would have the most gorgeous garden.
I would have saved the plants and put them somewhere else. Hope she did.
