I have a couple of standard little limes that get full sun and as you say they love it and are full of blooms every year, temps where I am in U.K. are probably not as hot as you though. They are actually in pots (and have been for around 8 years) growing to around 7 ft but 3 ft is the standard stem and every spring I prune the stems back to around 1 ft which keeps them compact and not top heavy for the large pots they are in which are probably half barrel size. Thanks from U.K. for video.
David, I loved reading about your Little Lime hydrangeas . They sound amazing. Did you have to keep increasing the size of the pots as the hydrangeas got larger to keep the roots happy? I didn’t know they could grow so tall . So interesting to read how you kept them in check . Thank you for sharing your hydrangea tips with our flower tribe. If you’re ever in face book , please consider sharing pictures of your hydrangeas on our Kelly Lehmans Flower Tribe Facebook group 🤗 👉 facebook.com/groups/173080477731043/
So, what time does the morning sun start? Is 7:00am too early to count as morning sun. Sorry for the stupid question, but sometimes I need just a little more information.
Kelly I live near Dallas where we get 100 degree days in summer. I have tried to grow hydrangea numerous times and I can’t stop them from burning up. Our soil has a lot of clay in it. Can you offer suggestions? My yard is very green St Augustine grass is quite green. For the most part our landscaping does well but if u can offer advice I would appreciate it.
Hi Craig, sure thing . You can amend yiur clay soil by adding some organic compost to it so it loosens up a bit. If there is a spot in the garden that has some shade from nearby trees or large plants , use that shade to protect your hydrangeas . Since temps get sooooo hot by you, I would aim for no more then 5-6 hours of sun if possible . Also keep up with the watering . That will help . Last suggestion is to try varieties that love the sun like limelight hydrangea and smooth hydrangeas 🌸
Thanks for that. Love your channel. Glad I found you. Thank you for having such an informative channel presented by a beautiful yet modest lady. Thank you from Dallas Texas. 102 Today.
Hello Kelly. I have had a Tokyo Delight hydrangea for many years, more than 12. It bloomed once or twice in it's early years, but barely since. It's in full sun. I want to move it to a spot where it will get the right amount of sun and shade to bloom. When is best time of year to transplant? Should I cut it back first? What should the sun and shade exposure be? Thank you!!
I live in Lancaster,Pa and I have what I think is a Limelight but it is more of a mophead than a panicle. My problem is it had flopped over and I am not sure how to treat it. Should I cut some of the blooms off?
So my mop head hydrangeas get full sun and I thought I was doing something wrong because I notice they are fading. So there is basically nothing I can do about it. Oh man, this growing pretty flowers thing is hard.
You always give the best advice 🥰 you have thee best garden in all the land I bet it smells AMAZING!!

Thank you for checking in from the UK 🌸🤗👍🌎🌻👋
Do Panicle and Aborescens hydrangeas require very cold freezing winters to flower well?
I live in Sydney Australia and it doesn’t snow here.
AWESOME! I garden in Columbia, MO - Zone 6a
So happy you liked it . Thank you for checking in from Columbia MO🌸🤗👍🌎🌻👋
What do you use for iron deficiency, Japanese beetles, and deer eating the baby bubs?
I wish I could get an answer on this too!

@Kellylehman I wish you would be able to answer all of the questions as I have the same questions too! It seems very random.

You're welcome 😊
What a pretty lady

My Endless summer foliage is huge but no flowers. First time in 6 yrs no blooms
There may be too much nitrogen in the soil . Try holding off on the fertilizer . 🌸
@@KellyLehman thank you kelly.
I fertilized very little at the beginning of the season. I pruned it in late March. I think I pruned it down too far.
