Will my potted hydrangea survive if I plant it?

Wait for all frost to have gone.................

Whether it was a gift or whether it was bought by you, hydrangeas that are purchased with foil around the pot are often different from those purchased at a nursery. The foil wrapped hydrangea has usually been grown for a one-time, spectacular show. The plant has been fed specifically to produce many large blooms quickly, quite often at the expense of the future health of the plant.

mine did I'm in new York state

I have had luck with that. Just be sure to keep it well watered and plant it where it will be happy!

If you don't feel confident about planting it in the ground, re-pot it in a larger pot. I bought two Rosy Slippers 2 yrs ago and because it was so hot and dry I re-potted them and kept them off of the patio to take care of and they flourished and did well when I put them in the ground. Pay attention to your plant's sun needs. I love the Oakleaf type Hydrangea as they are easier to grow and no worry about a late frost. Good luck!

Thank you so much to all for allthe replies.

Hydrangea need mostly shade, so choose a sheltered spot and keep it watered. Mine have come back for years.

My potted hydrangea was planted in the shade and needed watering every day for a while.It grew full and tall for years but never flowered again.

Hydrangeas are acid lovers. Get some Miracid and mix it in with your potting soil. If and when your blooms look a little sad, add more Miracid, because it may have leached out of your soil, or been completely taken up by your hydrangeas.
