Blossoming Questions

What do you mean by mulching in the winter time to protect the early buds. My plant is 3 foot tall- do mean mulch the top of the dirt?

My hydrangea leaves have brown/black spots on them every year. Other species I have do not do this. Try not to water plants just roots. Can you help me figure out what is wrong and what I can do to fix.

I am getting ready to plant my Berry White hydrangeas. Should they be mulched?

Purchased two Tiger Eyes Sumac Staghorn plants and I want to transplant them into container pots. How do I treat the root balls which are not holding much water from original containers. Do I cut into the root balls to rid the dry soil or just loosen and leave the original soil on the plants? Will garden soil plant material in sacks be a good medium for new planting? I can add to garden soil with cedar grove or fertilize.

Do you recommend dividing Endless Summer Hydrangeas and if so what time of the year do you recommend?

We just purchased Endless Summer Summer Crush. We want the blooms to be the color shown on the tag. The color range indicator shows the more acidic the soil, the darker the blooms while the more alkaline the soil, the lighter the blooms. What should the soil PH level be to get the color shown on the tag?

Why do my hydrangea turn a dull color by early August?

When do I prune my Strawberry Sundae hydrangea?

What kind of tree can I grow in a large container on a patio that gets a lot of sun?

Obviously I am asking this for the summer of 2021; do you have any miniature plants that I can container garden on my deck?
