Hey bully!

About the planting, my 10 year old limelight hydrangeas died last year for some reason. Even after they survived the DFW snowmageddon a couple years ago. Was just wondering when I should plant the replacements.

Hiya grrrlllllll

Give it a few more weeks. The best time to plant a hydrangea is during mild weather— nothing too hot, too cold, or too stormy. Pick a clear day to plant and it will have enough time to get settled before it has to tough out the hotter days ahead.

They like a lot of water in the heat but don’t make a swamp out of its bed. They do best with morning sun and shady later in the day. East or southeast side of the house is most favorable.

You can dig up the old ones right now if that’s where the new ones will go.

Get them from a nearby nursery. You can also get stuff to change the acidity of your soil that will make them change colors.

Limelight is a good variety for your zip code.

We had them growing up but I don’t have any at the moment.
