Since it's the end of Oct., is it too late to transplant my hydrangeas?

Where are you? If it is cold you may want to winter them over and wait for spring. Hydrangeas are deep drinkers and require a lot of water.

As long as your ground isn't frozen it should be fine. If you have had your first frost, make sure you have a few warm days ahead after you transplant your hyrangeas.



Be careful about transplanting them if they are over three years old. There is a chance you could damage the mother root. Loosen the dirt around the base with a shovel. I actually get on my hands and knees and see where the mother root is and the other main roots. Put your shovel underneath the base and carefully lift the plant up. Have your new hole ready and add some organic mushroom compost to the soil. This acts as an organic fertilizer for up to one year. It doesn't smell great but your hydrangeas will love it.



Good luck with your transplanting and go ahead and give your plants a new home. Browse through my site map and see if you can find any articles, photos and descriptions that may help you with other landscape solutions. Have a great day!
