Hydrangeas, sun or shade? In my mad bit at the nursery I bought a hydrangea....
In my mad bit at the nursery I bought a hydrangea. The tag say 'full sun' but...you know how they put up signs promoting the plants with tips and whatnot? Theirs said something along the lines of ' cog shade to shade'. I forgot to write its name down. Which one do I believe?
Answers: manifestly dappled sunlight with the sole purpose and plenty of water during summer ,they are really lovely planted beneath trees.
You mean. Part shade to sun? This usually channel early morning sun is OK, which is softer than the hot afternoon sun which will deffinately wreak the poor hydrangea to shrivel up. Never full afternoon sun. We live in the Northwest and the afternoon sun is not as hot here and some of my hydrangeas exposed to afternoon sun wilt until the evening. Then they look freshly fine. Wilting is the plants way to accumulate moisture in their leaves by shriveling up it serves that purpose or could be entreating for water if the soil is dried out. Full afternoon sun will burn the leaves and the flowers will turn brown. So be sure they own afternoon shade.
