spent the day riding around, noticing them in various yards and really liking them. not being much of a gardener/plant person I had to go by lowes to even figure out what they were.
I want to buy a few for the yard, but noticed I seem to live right at the zone where they have their hardiness limit (Louisville, ky. zone 5). it also seems like the various colors have different hardiness temps? as I looked at different pots I saw...
down to -40f zone 3 ( a darker color at the walmart right next door I got those as it seemed pretty safe)
down to -10f but not recommended for zone 5
down to 0deg, but still recommended for zone 5
then a couple of other colors rated down to -20 and recommended to zone 5
any one else in this zone have any experience with hydrangeas? how closely do I need to go by (or ignore) these recommendations?
thanks, and if I don't respond immediately to answers, my net time is kind of limited right now.
i'll be taking my answer off the air
