When is the time to plant hydrangea? it is now october?

Fall (or Autumn) is the best time of the year to plant. You have a cool moist season, followed by a dormant season, followed by another cool moist season. This combo. gives the plant ideal growing conditions to establish it's roots.





In certain USDA hardiness zones, some Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) might be sensitive to fall planting. But with additional protection, it should make it. As long as the plant is completely hardy in your zone, it should require no special considerations if planted in the mild part of October.





If you planting in later October or November, I would recommend wood mulch. (Straw is okay, but Hay isn't. It is full of seeds, and you'll grow alot of weeds if you use Hay.)





I hope that this helps


Good luck-

Plant Hydrangeas in October and November or March and April.They like moisture-retentive soil and a sheltered location. If you want blue flowers incorporate in the planting hole some peat moss. Acid soil gives blue and alkaline soil pink flowers.Mulch in April with well-decayed manure.
Reply:The fall is the best time to plant anything is the ground,m make sure you put an insulator around it, i.e. hay or mulch..


good luck
Reply:as above but i prefere to say autumn!!! however a potted version can be planted in spring. BE AWARE OF FORCED PLANTS if you see a plant in flower out of season DO NOT PLANT IT for 3 months (it will not cope with it) have fun....
