Blossoming Questions

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.

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?

Just bought Hydrangea Light-o-Day. Does it need any specific soil requirements. My soil is a bit clay so I was going to add peat.

What zone am I in? My zip code is 30350.

Hello. Just purchased a Sweet Tea Gardenia from Lowe’s. We live in Zone 7. May I grow Sweet Tea in a large container or do you recommend in-ground? Thanks so much. We love First Editions, we have many Sapphire Surf Caryopteris and just put in five Delta Blue Chaste shrubs.

I have 3 of the Original Endless Summer hydrangeas planted. 2 of the plants have blooms that have turned brown and completely dried out. Should I prune these off and how should I do that?
