I need to Transplant my Hydrangeas...can I do that now in the summer?

I transplanted one of mine a couple of weeks ago and it's done quite well. What I did was I dug my new hole and then I filled it up with water and let it drain off. Next I dug up the Hydrangea put it in the new hole and then I put some more water in the hole and let it drain again. Then I took some Osmocote and mixed it in with the dirt and then filled in the hole. For about the first week I watered it every evening and now I water it every couple of days as needed. It has done very well. Just be careful not to hack the roots up too bad when you take it out of the ground and it should be just fine. Good Luck!

If you live in the cooler parts of the world, and/or if you don't mind flooding your yard for a few weeks they should be OK, but I would wait until spring.





Right now in most areas, the dirt will be dry, and hard to dig, and if you're not really careful on watering it will be harmful to the plant.
Reply:Hydrangeas are in their growing period right now. You can try to transplant if it is not blooming. If it is blooming, do not transplant.





Depending on what part of the country you live, transplanting can be done as long as you give it a good stimulator once it has been transplanted. They will be this as a booster to prevent shock. All plants go through a bit of shock once they are transplanted.





I make sure I have a hole dug before I transplant, just to avoid too much shock on the plant.





Hydrangeas are so beautiful. dd
Reply:Don't do it unless you can (and will) water them EVER:Y day for the rest of the summer. You would be better to wait till winter, but you CAN if you'll water.
Reply:Only if you can make sure the roots are well protected, watered well and regularly if they are in a dry area of the country. This heat will drain even the strongest of the plants we can have at this time of the year.





Most plants prefer to be transplanted and seperated while in dormancy. Pick a nice sunny cool day to do the job to get the roots use to the new soil and get time to get setteled in.
