I got an endless summer hydrangea for Mother's Day. Can I put it in a pot on my porch? How do I care for it?

yes you can and even better plant it in your garden. Just water and feed it just like the others

You need to plant it in a garden, some where in your yard. they get big, to big for a pot. also it would probably bloom better in the ground.
Reply:Use a good quality potting medium- one made for containers. Be sure the pot has a drain hole in the bottom. Hydrangeas need water but do not like the soil to stay damp-it needs to drain well between waterings. They are a shad e-loving plant so it should be happy on the porch. Do not forget to feed it, water soluable fertilizers are best because they do not burn the plant. Enjoy! I have that variety and really enjoy it.
Reply:you can plant it in a pot.care depends on the color of plant.blues do not need acid in the soil,reds and pinks do.do some online research before fertilizing.
