My Annabelle hydrangea is 25 years old and the
Past few years the center of the plant has become very sparsebut the plant itself is growing well around the perimeter and outwardin fact, I have had to dig out from the edges because it is crowding out the other plants in my garden. It receives morning sun and afternoon shade and blooms very well, grows in a sandy soil. I have not been very good at fertilizing it. Any suggestions?

you could try adding filter layers in the pot above the fountain so you can plant dirt plants inside(succulents or something that does not need frequent watering. You could try growing a pond plant/water loving plant in gravel/pebbles in the pot and adjust the fountain so that it flows into the pot(sort of like a hydroponic system. It depends on the setup of the fountain and water flow: -)

hello, love your videos! how to amend soil each year in the pot when the plants are still growing? what if the roots are really big and it's hard to dig more soil out? (our landscaper in the previous 3 years never amend our soil and I never add any fertilizers, so their roots got really big. can you make a video about how to amend soil in the pot with plants in it? thanks a million!

- I bought a Hydrangea 3 years ago and planted it in full sun. Every year it blooms and look's great except it never grows. I've used Miracle Grow and made sure it's alway's had plenty of water. It was around 3 feet when I got it and hasn't grown 6 inches. Is there something I can do for this, -Thanks

For your middle urn, you could plug the Drainhole and fill soil lower than usual and plant things that tolerate wet soils. Papyrus grass, canna lilies, junctus and many rushes and sedges, basically you would have marginal pond plants up there. Papyrus even is a proven winners selection!

You should put some corkscrew rush in that middle urn! I rinsed all the soil off of my corkscrew rush and planted it directly in the water. You can also get floating basket pots to put plants in. I also have a bunch of water hyacinth, but I'm not sure if they're legal in Oregon.

Yeah! Thanks so much! I love my hydrangeas- I found mine love organic worm castings! I have a shade garden and they adore their food. I also head Epsom salt is great for them. Garden Wives tales?

I got a simple question. my hydrangea blooming at a different time, the old flower have already dead, but the new one just started. can I cut the dead one? if I cut, does it effect the next year blooming?
