Hydrangeas

Question

I purchased a 3 foot wide hydrangea bush. Can this bush be grown in a large pot? If planted, can the hydrangea bush be dug up (I may move in 2 years) and replanted with out causing damage?

Answer 1

Yes, you can grow the shrub in a pot. Just be sure the container is large enough to accommodate the plant and provides adequate drainage. It can also transplant fairly easy, but make sure it is done while dormant and get as much of the root system as possible.
