@littlelisa Lisa, this is my 4th attempt. I killed my first 3. I put this one in a shadier spot and am crossing my fingers! 😬

2nd season in zone 5b. No blooms yet. Some brown dots on otherwise healthy looking leaves. Should I worry? Seeking #plantadvice #hydrangea-help

My baby hydrangea is struggling to survive in the hot location where I planted her 😕 but she continues to produce new blooms for me! I put a beach umbrella over her to protect her from the hot Chicago sun... My neighbors must think I am cuckoo. 😁

@ofthought , i get stares from my neighbors due to the large yellow umbrella but I don't care... LOL! I despised yard work/gardening all my life... And after 1 season of giving it a try... I'm obsessed! ❀🌺🌻

@Bebigirl your hydrangea will continue to struggle in the sun and maybe sucome to it eventually, it may get so stressed it willsay tata!! On the other hand it may adapt and spit in everyones eye!! I would watch it closely and if it seems like its not going to adapt I would move it to more shade💘😍

Thanks @ShelleySnyder . I don't have anyplace to move them :( I wish I would have done research on hydrangeas first... And bought a variety that likes sun.

@Bebigirl I have had part shade plants in full sun make it and are now actually thriving, (didn't read tag😣) but I did not do a thing to them ,it was live or die😂😂 I have a friend that has a hydr. It is not only in full sun it is in a pot!! It has been in it for 3 years , this year it looks fab!! So theres hope!!💘😍

Thank you, @Acetaker! I will. Also, there are a lot of mint growing around my little hydrangeas... Will the mint hurt them or prevent them from growing?

7w
comment
Acetaker

Maria,they shouldn't hurt them. But,if they r both close to the ground I'd leave space for air flow😊

comment
Bebigirl

Ok thanks, @Acetaker. I am finding mint is hard to contain. The previous owner had it growing everywhere. I pulled a ton out but the mint is a tenacious plant!! 😕
