Can I plant a potted hydrangea from a florist outside?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 03 11th, 2010I bought a Nikko hydrangea for indoors but I want to transplant it into my outdoor flower bed now. Is this a good idea? I’m in zone 5 so it should be hardy enough. Is it the same as the start I would get at a nursery or are they specially adapted to be indoors only?

How do I save a hydrangea?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 03 7th, 2010I planted this hydrangea in a large pot, it wilted the next day, totally drooped over. So we replanted it under a shade tree next to some other hydranges, it is still wilted. Can I save it and how??
If I buy a potted blue hydrangea, can I keep it alive in a pot, or must it be planted?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 03 7th, 2010I saw a beautiful potted blue hydrangea, and was wondering if I bought it, could I keep it alive in a pot, or must it be planted? If it can be kept alive in a pot, how? I live in an apartment (with a cat) and very little light. Do they need to be outside/inside? When it is winter, do they die, or will they come back?
Thanks!
How do I care for a Unique Hydrangea Tree?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 03 5th, 2010I accidently bought a Unique Hydrangea Tree. It said it would grow 10-20 feet. How long would it take it to grow about 10 feet if i gets all the water and sun it needs? I planted it in the right spot, and it is about 2 feet tall right now. No white blooms yet though.

If you plant flowers to attract hummingbirds, what kind do you plant and how soon do you plant them?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 04 30th, 2009I have wisteria blue, gladiolus, astilbe, phlox, lilly of the valley, bleeding heart, hollyhock, red hot poker, lupine, canterbury bells, columbine, larkspur and snapdragon.
I just bought a packet of dahlia, lily, and gladiolus bulbs. It is now almost June and?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 04 22nd, 2009…and I am in zone 7B. The temps are well into the 80s. Can I still plant these bulbs or should I wait for the fall or even next spring? Will they be fine in their original boxes or do I need to do something?
I’d appreciate any advice.
Should I cut gladiolus leaves after the flowers finish?
Posted by Milly in Garden & Landscape on 04 21st, 2009I have several nice rich stands of gladiolus. When the flowers are done blooming, the tall leaves start to flop over and look very messy.
Should I cut the leaves back, or tie them up so they are neater?
