How large does Summer Crush^® Hydrangea get?

Thinking of putting some beautiful hydrangeas in my home in Zone 7a. Do they need full sun or part?

Do you think Italian Cypress trees could grow in Nashville? I have an eye sore I’m the backyard that I’m trying to cover with plants; I’ve planted Little Gem Magnolias, but I’m concerned I planted them too far apart. I was considering planting the Tall skinny Cypress trees in between to help fill it in. Here is a picture. I just read online they do better in more southern climates.

I am planting Easy Elegance^® roses in a large whiskey barrel. Can I leave them outsize all winter in Zone 6-7?

Are hydrangeas perennial plants and come back each year?

I planted 2 Easy Elegance^® roses this spring, but I’ve seen no signs of new growth. They are in full sun, and I have tried to keep them well watered. Would cutting them back a bit prompt new growth?

I planted my BloomStruck^® Hydrangea where there is mostly shade all day. No morning sun and a short period of time with afternoon sun however the afternoon sun hits when it’s not at its hottest or highest. Will it be ok in this spot?

Where should I plant my Vanilla Strawberry^™ Panicle Hydrangeas? I’m in Zone 8a.

How can I plant Endless Summer^® Hydrangeas in containers on my patio? Will I need to re-pot my hydrangea yearly or just add or change soil? I live in North Carolina and am wondering if there will be a specific insect that will be a nuisance to the plants? Will deer and rabbits wreak havoc with these plants?

My hydrangea has spent winter in our unheated garage. Do I take it out now, in April, in the area north of Chicago? Also, it’s been in the pot maybe 2-3 years, and I know it needs to be repotted before it gets much new growth. By what point should I repot it?
