Blossoming Questions

Should my Easy Elegance shrub be pruned in the fall?

We have a Ninebark Amber Jubilee and would like to plant it in a large pot. Will it survive this?

I just bought 2 of “The Original” and noticed some of blooms are turning brown. I’m not sure if I’m adding too much water or not enough water. They are planted in containers with good drainage and the soil is moist. They now only get morning sun. I just moved them so they aren’t getting sun all day long. Suggestions would be appreciated! I live in NY.

Is Sweet Tea is annual plant?

I have my hydrangea planted above ground in a large pot. I an trying to find out what I need to do with the plant during winter so it will come back in the spring. I have read the winter instructions but that is if the plant is planted in the ground and the roots are underground. With the plant in a pot the roots are above ground and is at more risk of root freezing. What can I do with this plant so it will come up again each year?

My five Sapphire Surf Bluebeard plants, recently purchased and planted, are not greening fast. There appears to be dry or dead branches on many. The local retailer advised me to cut them down and allow them to grow new branches.

About 3 weeks ago I planted summer crush hydrangeas in zone 5 in NE. Per you site and the tag it claims these plants can have full sun in zones 4-9. I planted these facing east and given the sun rise I believe they are getting about 8 hours of sun. Since it’s gotten a little warmer I’ve been noticing them drooping a little come the end of the sun time. They seem to re bound after they are in the shade and or I water, but I’m concerned since it will only get hotter here. Is this just b/c their are newly planted or should I be concerned I planted them in too much sun? Also, how much should I be watering them? Thanks

How can I get my hydrangea plant to grow larger? Every year the plant died back and new growth are coming from the base when summer arrives. All the branches left from previous are all dead and did not have any new growth, and pruning did not seems to help.

I have 2 rose bushes that I need to plant. I live in Colorado and have a north facing front and south facing back. Where is the best place to plant them and how?

I would like to put the hydrangea I just bought in a large pot instead of in the ground, is that possible?
