When is the best time to transplant a limelight hydrangea in Zone 8?

Answer by  BrendaG (6111)

Wait until the plant flowers before you transplant. Enjoy the flowers as it may take some time before they produce flowers again. Transplant in a pot one size larger than present container. After transplanting, water thoroughly and let dry out somewhat.

Any hydrngea is best transplanted when it is time for dormancy. In Zone 8 that would be late fall to mid-winter. Root a cutting just-in-case.

It can be transplanted when it becomes dormant. It likes partial shaded areas. It should be transplanted only in the spring or fall.

Either in the spring or the fall. Before the first freeze or after the ground has thawed and is workable and you are past additional freezes.
