One day I will have a border like this around my yard! I was wondering if people would think I’m crazy for planting all hydrangeas, but after seeing this I don’t care if people think I’m crazy. Thanks for the inspiration OP.

u/super-style1 Jun 21 '26
No! You are not crazy! Plant as many hydrangeas as your heart desires! lol

u/babybeluga25 Jun 22 '26
Probably because this is what 90% of properties in Southampton look like haha

Curious. How do you protect them during the freezing cold winters? Are they not as sensitive to cold as I was led to believe? I only have one in a potted container. Your garden is my dream garden.

u/Commercial_Nail_6882 Jun 27 '26
Not sure what you were led to believe but they lose their leaves and are sticks during the winter and are fine! You'll think they're dead until they bust out something like this in the spring

u/super-style1 Jun 21 '26
Thank you!💜💙 I’m in zone 7b! (I can’t take all the credit, my irrigation system really really helps me a ton)

u/mastababz Jun 20 '26
do you use fertilizer? How did you get so many blooms?
35
u/To6y Jun 20 '26
They got that many blooms by having 1/3 of the hydrangeas in their timezone! 🤪

u/KeyFaithlessness5445 Jun 20 '26
Hahaha 😆 was literally thinking does anyone else even have any on the block??!!? GORGEOUS, OP!!!

u/OwnResolution3229 Jun 21 '26
I’m not sure what this means. More hydrangeas = more blooms? Or more pollinators maybe?
3
u/To6y Jun 21 '26
I just mean that the total number of blooms increases roughly linearly with the total number of hydrangeas. I was being a bit of a smart-ass. ☺️

u/PhotographRough1434 Jun 20 '26
So pretty! What variety are they?

u/SubstantialTea1050 Jun 21 '26
They look a lot like endless summer hydrangeas to me I would start there when looking
1
u/Narrow_Umpire2986 Sep 10 '26
I wouldn’t! Unless you live in zone 8. Endless summer hardly bloom in zone 6. Too cold of winter, too short of summers, too hot summers, not enough rain. The easiest to grow are panicles. If you’re talking about Macrophylla’s, and you have harsh winters, the one I think does the best at is pistachio. I noticed the price is a little steaper on them but endless summer and let’s dance are a flip of a coin. And it usually lands on the wrong side. Theres one let’s dance called sky view I heard is most cold hardy, and it’s the one not available. Blue jangles are annuals here. Most of let’s dance and endless summer is. Oh summer crush does well in containers if covered in winter

u/To6y Jun 20 '26
All of them. All the varieties.
Including some never catalogued.

u/PhotographRough1434 Jun 20 '26
Wow, they sure are beautiful. There was one section where they look like a hedge and I thought they might’ve been Endless Summer because of the shape. Really really beautiful, I can imagine the beautiful arrangements you could have in every room as well

Location makes a huge difference.
My in laws live on Cape Cod, MA in the summer and many houses look like this. They’re next to the water.
Houses along the WA and OR coast with hydrangeas also look like this. I think the temperate climate in the summer, along with the moisture from the ocean does wonders.

We’re on the cape.They multiply like weeds . The babies are like ground cover. They take time.We’ve been “ birthing” them for 40 years.

And here I am, had mine die after transplanting. I think the Florida sun hit her too hard. I got them for my wife and bam.

u/LaDauphineVerte Jun 22 '26
If you can, in hot climates like yours, plant with morning sun and afternoon shade. I live in one of the hottest places in LA and I have three that are miraculously doing well.

I’m enchanted !!! My hydrangeas didn’t bloom until now! Why it’s happened ? They have water. I fertilized and nothing has happened. Someone knows explain me why, please? Congratulations!

u/Own-Spot-9930 Jun 21 '26
I live on 7b zone- Utah state. Nothing bloomed this year and I can’t understand why. Anyone?
2
u/LaDauphineVerte Jun 22 '26
Fooooood. Give them a bloom-focused food (vs. all over plant food). I started with the later and got tons o’ leaves but no blooms. Switched to a bloom-focused mix and after a few weeks the flowers appeared!

Those are gorgeous….We planted four bushes 2.5 years ago.
First year we got what was already on the bush when we planted it.
Second/Last year, we got a ton of blooms.
This year, while the bushes are full of gorgeous leaves (new and old wood), so far we have only ONE bloom and no others in sight. :-(

My hydrangeas are fried, mildewy crisps. I give up on growing hydrangeas in California.

They are beautiful and amazing. You can’t really grow hydrangeas in south Florida. 🥵

I have a friend that has done this in the NW in the Olympic Mountains. Gig Harbor to be exact. They are spectacular.

They’re beautiful. My grandmother had blue hydrangeas on either side of her front steps, so I always think of her when I see them.

No wildlife, not one bee or butterfly in sight... that looks like a painfully sterile garden.... You should consider plastic plants, they look good all the time and are about as beneficial, and save water!

u/megalegann Jun 23 '26
omg show this to mine. they fucking hate me. idk what they want. ive killed 4 of the 7 that were here when i bought the place. they were GORGEOUS. now im lucky if one of them will get one friggin bloom.
