My grandparents had hydrangeas in their backyard in the shade of a large oak tree. When I was little I thought they were popcorn balls. Then, I saw them on our trip to Washington State and they were so beautiful. These types of videos are great!
My Mother grew hydrangeas & could lead them into blooming different colors during different times during the season by using fertilizers...it was like magic. Her bushes were huge & lush & she won the hydrangea game within her group of friends...all of them could work miracles with their own individual pet flowers. They had fun enjoying gardening as a hobby for many years, before & after retirement age, most of them were happy homemakers making the very best of their time in so many fun & worthy ways. This video post is wonderful featuring a plant which brought happiness to my Mother...thank you to everyone for offering it to the world.
My only wish before I got too old was to successfully grow a magnificent hydrangea bush under my husband's office window where he could pause from his work at his desk and rest his eyes upon such a beautiful sight. Each year I planted one, it grew with so much promise until I would go on vacation and leave it to the care of a friend or neighbor to oversee watering until I got back in a week. Each time I came back to withered stems as the (paid) waterer remembered to water everything but the hydrangea on the front side of the house under Michael's window. One winter a heavy Polar Vortex descended on us and froze my precious under -26F cold. We finally installed a automatic sprinkler system but the temperature shot up to 105F which burnt the foliage to a crisp when we returned home. 5 years ago, I stayed home. It was the year I finally had my wish! The magnificent shrub grew to enormous dimensions and bloomed its heart out from Spring to Fall and I was fulfilled.
I love these because they make for easy beautiful gardening. Even when not in bloom the leaves are beautiful and block the light from the soil under them rendering weeding virtually unnecessary.
I've been trying to grow beautiful hydrangeas for 10 years. They always wilt on me. This season I finally figured out that they need some shade. I've just been so busy with work. Maybe when I retire in another 10-15 years, I'll finally get it right!
I grew them in my front yard when I lived in a single family home! I loved how beautifully they bloomed each year. The one thing I miss about living in a single family home, gardening😆
Sao Miguel, one of the nine Portuguese Islands of the Azorean archipelago, is the home of one of the world's largest displays of naturally grown hydrangeas. They bloom everywhere on the island, from mid-July into August, and provide the eye with one of the most spectacular sights of magic, beauty and joy I have ever seen. I am certain that the early Azorean immigrants to Cape Cod, longing for the ephemeral beauty of their island paradise, are responsible for turning the Cape and Islands into the glorious summer dream we are privileged to see today.
Beautiful story, I don't garden but brought wonderful memories growing up of 10 summers in same Cape Cod south shore cottage rental. We would drive the long way everywhere to see all the gorgeous gardens! Want to go back someday, even just a long weekend, especially now!❤️🌺
I remember one of the prettiest sites I ever saw was in Kokatahi, Westland, Aotearoa - New Zealand. Along the edge of a small, gently flowing stream, an entire edge of about 70 metres was covered in a mass of beautiful blue hydrangeas. Every five bushes or so, there was a white or a almost cerise variety. Directly behind this border were New Zealand native ferns and trees. The entire thing looked like you'd expect fairies to be hiding amongst them on misty days. My love for hydrangea started that day in 1986.
My mom gave me a beautiful blue hydrangea for my birthday one year. She passed away shortly after. I was depressed that I could barely put one foot in front of the other. The hydrangea, as well as all my plants were just put in a dark corner of my deck. I didn't even bother to water anything. About a year later, I decided to clean off the deck. As I was getting ready to throw out the hydrangea, I saw a tiny blue flower in bloom! Miraculous and I'll never forget it!
Our elderly neighbor had a massive collection of these beautiful flowers. We lived in Alabama I don't know how she did it but they were beautiful all kinds of colorful a bouquet of colors were they.
What a gorgeous view hydrangeas are my absolute favorite there’s something about them that make me the happiest! I have 11 bushes in our property and gift them all the time💕
This reminds me of my childhood. My father grew the most beautiful blue, pink and mixtures of colours. In Cape Town.. He was so proud of these beauties. and gave them loads of love and attention...it gave him so much pleasure.
Simply beautiful, thank you for sharing, I wish i were there!!!! Some Annabelles and Lacecaps came with the house, they are really easy to propagate from cuttings, now I have a whole bunch of them around the house and gardens! Awesome bushes, and lacecaps are pollinators' magnets and privacy enablers!!!! Great plants, great enthusiasts, thank you for making the world look gorgeous!!!!
My mother had beautiful hydrangeas growing in her front yard right by the front door of the house. They were huge and came in all beautiful different colors! She abora her hydrangeas and got lots of compliments from everyone! Whenever my daughter's and I see hydrangeas we always think of her ❤ I know my mother is now hydrangeas in heaven with God
When I lived in California they were abundant, but in Arizona they are few and far between. I never realized the PH of the soil had anything to do with the colors. 😊
I love hydrangeas soo much. I live in California and have grown them in pots with much success. They give so much as long as you water them. I would love to visit Cape Cod just for the hydrangeas❤🎉❤😊
They are all so beautiful! I love hydrangeas, I have one growing in my yard. But not every Summer do they bloom. I don't think I know what I'm doing with them. They don't always give me flowers, just green beautiful leaves.
My grandmother had African violets they always were blooming she talked to them and swore that was the secret When she passed away my sister in law and I got some of them . Mine didn't bloom for over a year I kept them anyway my sister in laws bloomed also but a lot of time passed and yes I know you have to feed them! Some people just have that magic touch with plants 🙌👍
My feelings about apartment where I live is in a beautiful neighborhood to walk with so many of these, live right on lower Hudson River NY in small village with amazing gardens of these 🌺❤️
I live in Asturias, Spain. If you want to see the most beautiful and biggest hydrangeas come visit. The climate is temperate and wet. There are also beautiful calla lilies here too.
I have a lovely hydrangea that came with the house. She flowers every year, I don’t have to do too much at all. I just planted another one. I hope the new one takes.
Oh my goodness! I am a Hydrangja lover. I didn't know they came in so many varieties. Beautiful. Now I have a good reason to go go visit Cape Cod.
My Mother worked magic with hydrangeas here in the southeastern USA. With good care it seems they can thrive in lots of locations.

I vacationed for many years on Cape Cod and saw the house at 3:00 many times. The hydrangeas on Cape Cod are breathtaking.
Same here for 10 yrs when growing up at Dennisport beach cottage! Miss it, must go back now🌺
@@joanneweiss3864 I have family vacationing this week at West Dennis beach! Hope you get to visit again, soon.
My favorite flower. They grow so beautiful on the East Coast.
I love Mo Rocca! He has such a great sense of humor and he always listens to the people that he's interviewing.

Refreshing to see when A Steward is genuinely invested and gets others informatively involved.

@@PM.68 I know, right?
When I lived in California they were abundant, but in Arizona they are few and far between. I never realized the PH of the soil had anything to do with the colors. 😊
Acidic soil = blue. Alkaline soil = pink.
I enjoyed this! They are absolutely stunning. Thanks for posting!
❤️💜💚
Gorgeous hydrangeas 💜
Absolutely one of my go-to plants very Hardy easy to transplant easy to propagate they're great for budget and they add huge amount of color and flare
I recall the hydrangeas on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Beautiful.
That is.so.sweet, i so blessed to hear she interacts w her plants
That is like heaven on earth. Love the segments!
I always think of hydrangeas as a Southern plant. How nice to know they thrive in the northeast!
Hydrangeas = my favorite flower! If only they were scented, they be the PERFECT flower.
Gorgeous! Love the hydrangea varieties!
My favorite is the lace caps twist and shout!!!
I love hydrangeas soo much. I live in California and have grown them in pots with much success. They give so much as long as you water them. I would love to visit Cape Cod just for the hydrangeas❤🎉❤😊

We have many African Violets. That want an east facing window, in the morning and under a lamp, each night. Must move them.
Wonderful!!! Thank you 😊
Reminds me of my Aunt Helen's garden in New Jersey. She had many blossoming plants and hydrangeas was one of them...
I live in Southern New Mexico. I have a potted hydrangea I have kept outside and it is doing great!
I lived on the Cape and it's a beautiful place. Chatham Bars is magnificent! I've tried to grow hydrangeas down South with no luck.
Informative this video is. Also emotional! Such love.
Beautiful ! 💙💙
Who knew there are so many different species of this beautiful plant
Those flowers are beautiful
There’s a large patch of white hydrangeas outside the floor to ceiling windows of my apartment. It’s one of the few good things about living here.
My feelings about apartment where I live is in a beautiful neighborhood to walk with so many of these, live right on lower Hudson River NY in small village with amazing gardens of these 🌺❤️
Greetings from Everett Washington. I have hyandregas and they make my front yard look beautiful. They hold up well here in the PNW.

Mo Rocco's killin' me with his hydrangea term, "Mop heads".
I lOVE hydrangeas and I always associate them with Grandmothers’ gardens.
My grandmother had hydrangea hedges along the driveway to her house in tropical Panama. They were all blue. The water came from the rain
Wonderful story! Love Mo
