Should i return this hydrangea?
Hi everyone! I’ve always wanted to grow hydrangeas at home, but my flower bed gets full sun all day. Because of that, I’m planning to keep one in a pot on my shaded porch instead.
I recently picked up a really beautiful hydrangea from Costco, but after reading online, I’m seeing a lot of people say these won’t bloom like this again and are more “gift” plants. Some suggested buying from a nursery or florist instead, especially if I want repeat blooms.
I live in zone 8b and I’m very new to gardening, so I’m a bit confused now. I’d love a hydrangea that blooms continuously (or at least reblooms) through summer.
Should I keep this plant and try to care for it properly, or return it and get a different variety? If so, what type of hydrangea would you recommend for a beginner in my zone?
Any advice would really help and will appreciate if you can give me some yips to replant and take care of it.
