I want to move my Hydrangea to another location. It is about 3 feet high, and doesn’t have enough room. What is the best time of year to transplant this Hydrangea?
The key to moving your Hydrangea successfully is to do it when the plant is dormant. According to the North Dakota State University Extension Service, it should have no leaves on it when you move it. If you missed the chance to do this in the late fall, you could still do it in early spring before it has new growth. It is a good idea to apply compost on and around the new planting site. There is a Hydrangea website that has a more detailed discussion of the Hydrangea’s transplanting needs.
