I have just received a hydrangea , which is in bloom when can i plant it outdoors?

what is the best time to plant outdoors.

it's in full bloom now. what kind of care does it need ( lots of sun, little sun,????)

should i cut the blooms off, then plant?

Was it received from a florist or a garden center? If it was purchased from a florist, then it has probably never seen the light of the real sun, so wait until after it blooms, cut it back some and plant it in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade.



If it came from a garden center, then it should already be acclimated and can be planted now, in morning sun and afternoon shade.



If your air conditioner is on the north or east side of your house, it will thrive there as it loves moist soil and your a.c. constantly drips during the summer.



Hope this helps! Good Luck!
