[QUOTE="Steely, post: 184139, member: 3301"] OK. Well, first of all Hydrangeas are perennial, so they should come back year after year. They also like lot's shade, and lot's of moisture. They grow in abundance in the NW like Oregon/Wa because of the shade, water, and the acidity of the soil. Because they like the soil to be pretty acidic, and because you do not live in the NorthWest it might good to plant it in a pot or surround the area with a lot of peat moss or acidic compost. You can actually change the color of flowers by what PH the soil is. Pretty neat. In Texas, Hydrangeas and Azaleas are like growing a cactus in Alaska. However, it can be done with the right soil conditions and care. Good luck........ [/QUOTE]
