Help, my white hydrangea is dying! what should i do?
Question:i recently planted a white hydrangea on the side of my house. it does get late afternoon sun and ive been watering it regularly. every day it looks a little worse. should i move it or quit watering it?? help!
Answers:
Move it if it's an Annabelle, Big Leaf or Oak Leafed type Hydrangea. Late afternoon sun will stress & wilt these Hydrangeas. Plant in a location that allows part sun to part shade but they'll be protected from the late afternoon sun. A Hydrangea paniculata (Unique, Tardiva, PeeGee, etc) will take the afternoon sun better and would not need to be moved. They all like moist soil, not wet soil. Watering everyday is excessive. You should cut back on your watering.
its best to not plant in late spring anyway but depending on what flavor of plant you have its going through some stress as we speak cut back on the watering water it once a day as of now early day you could let it take its place and see what happens but normally its a filtered sun plant if you want to plant something that's takes more sun and get great results try endless Summer or big daddy hydrangea tardeva is a good one for sun as well if it was me move it to a sheltered place that filters it or a corner of the house under a specimen tree any try this OK
