Nice intrdoducing of beautiful plants and flowers. Hydrangeas (Hydrangea spp.), shrubby plants with rounded flower clusters, are a time-honored favorite for many. Planted at the right time, in the right conditions and with proper care, hydrangeas will provide years of beauty and grace in a landscape. Hydrangeas are not terribly particular about the time of year when they're planted, but summer planting can be problematic in inland areas where the summers are bright and hot. When you plant your hydrangea, dig a hole that is twice the width of the container. Add 1 inch of organic material, like compost or peat moss, to the soil to improve drainage and moisture retention. This is especially important for clayey soils that may not drain well. Break up the soil with a shovel or hand rake. When placing the hydrangea into the hole, spread the roots wide, then fill back in the hole with the amended soil.
