1. Why does L.A. Dreamin have different flower colors?
Flower color is influenced by soil chemistry and plant conditions. This cultivar can show several shades on one shrub, and the mix can vary by season.
2. Does L.A. Dreamin rebloom?
Yes. It can flower on both older and newer stems, offering more opportunities for blooms during the growing season.
3. How much sun is ideal?
Morning sunlight with afternoon shade is a good choice, especially in regions with hot summers.
4. Can it grow in a container?
Yes, in a generously sized pot with drainage and careful watering. Container-grown hydrangeas dry out faster than plants in the ground.
5. Should I prune it in fall?
Avoid heavy fall pruning because it can remove buds. Wait until spring to identify and remove dead wood.
6. Why are the leaves wilting?
Bigleaf hydrangeas lose moisture quickly in heat. Check soil moisture before watering; afternoon wilting alone does not always mean roots are dry.
