why did my hydrangeas wilt after planting near a walnut tree?

Last summer, I was super excited to plant some hydrangeas along my backyard fence. I picked the perfect spot—right under the shade of a big walnut tree. A few weeks later, my hydrangeas looked sad and droopy, no matter how much I watered them. I started to wonder if I was doing something wrong. After some digging (literally and online), I learned about jugalone, a chemical that walnut trees release. Turns out, jugalone can mess with certain plants, and hydrangeas are on that list. I moved my hydrangeas to a different spot, away from the walnut, and they perked up fast. Now, I always check which plants get along before planting. It saves so much heartache and keeps my garden happy. #gardeningtips #hydrangeas #walnuttree #plantcare #Gardening

Can You Believe I Found This Gorgeous Hydrangea at Home Depot?

I spotted the stunning "fairytale bride" hydrangea at Home Depot today, and let me tell you, it’s HUGE. For $50, you get a gigantic, super pretty plant that’s almost impossible to carry single-handedly—it must be at least 3 gallons, maybe even 5. It’s a newer variety, only recently released, and you can get it in both pink and blue. It thrives in USDA zones 5-9, loves full sun (just make sure it’s watered), but if you're in a super hot, dry place, partial sun might be better. I'm growing mine on a trellis, and it’s looking so beautiful! You could also plant it in the ground or in a pot without a trellis for a giant, ball-shaped bloom. It can reach about 1.5 meters across! Still, it’s a bit on the pricey side, so is anyone else tempted to buy one or just sticking to the smaller versions? #gardening #hydrangeas #homeimprovement
