What is involved in transplanting hydrangeas?

Answer by  shawdowsmom (138)

Hydrangeas are easily transplanted by carefully digging all the root portion and watering well after transplanting. Adding a teaspoon of Epson Salt around the plant produces a dark blue flower. Red clay however will produce a vibrant pink.

First you need to make sure that when you dig the plant up that you get all the roots. It is best to transplant hydrangeas when the temperature is cool.

Transplanting a hydrangea should be done in cool weather. Transplanting in the heat of the summer is a higher risk because the plant is already under stress from the heat.
