Do hydrangeas do well in pots?

Hydrangeas grown in the ground or in containers require 3 basic things; well-drained soil, the proper amount of sunlight and lots of moisture. Growing hydrangeas in pots is a great option for people who are limited in space, or would like to create a beautiful new look in their garden.

Do I need to cover my hydrangeas for winter? Keep Them Cozy. Whether or not hydrangeas need protection depends on how cold the winter temperatures drop.

Hydrangeas that are in partial shade or dappled light may only need watering 2 times per week. Should I use Miracle Grow on hydrangeas?
