They were only interested in our palm plant which we now keep up out of their reach. Of course, I suppose you don't want to risk it, I understand. Have a nice weekend! (Ps. I think we might be done with our bathroom this weekend, depends on how much we slack off - we've done lots of that - otherwise we would have been done a week ago!)

Mine are planted already and I am planning on protecting my little hydrangeas after the first couple of frosts. Try mulching them well, putting a little fence around them and filling it with leaves to help them through the winter. We have REALLY cold winters so I am hoping this works. If not, I am sure as hell gonna be on the phone to the next spring if everything is dead! I just received my order from Michigan Bulb as well and they look just like yours.

Keep them watered and they should be fine. When it starts to get really cold and frozen, mound some leaves or mulch around and on top of the plants to protect them. And your hydrangea could be huge within 2-3 years. Just prune it when recommended (some like spring, some can be pruned whenever). The pruning stimulates growth. Just check to see if your variety blooms on old wood or new wood - you don't want to cut off the old wood if that means no flowers.

I ordered from them last spring. Nothing has died yet, but I figure it will be years until my hydrangeas look like the ones in the pictures. The prices are unbeatable though. Spring Hill?
