I own 4 Blue Heavens. I have one in morning sun only and does the worst out of the 4. The other 3 are in deep shade and do great and still find a way to wilt. So the BH's I would put in the most shaded area available.

I own 5 Togethers and my ones located in mid to evening sun do the best. I would put them in your sunniest location.

I own 2 Originals and 1 peppermint that get alot of morning to mid day sun and only wilt in droughts. I also think they bloom well because of the sun they receive.

Have one Summer Lace that gets about 3-4 hrs of dappled mid day sun and loves the location. I have been very impressed by it this year.

I hope that was helpful and congrats on all your new hydrangeas. Remember the 1st season or 2 they will require many deep waterings to get established.

Summer lace should be the easiest to maintain. Nikko should actually be less of a hassle than you think. Just protect it and all the others from high winter winds if these exist. I know how windy it can get up in the ridges if that's where you are located... If you happen to get lots of snow it will protect them good too. Drifting piles over the plants would be convenient but again watch the wind on those bare stems!

Thank you! This helps immensely! Yes we get winds and lots of drifting snow. I will make sure to protect them.

Went out on the hunt for more clearanced plants today but struck out. The bank is rather large and buying them at full price is not in the budget. If I had patience I would try and root some. Alas, that is not a virtue of mine.

Our Home Depot has TONS of healthy looking plants in stock. I am sure they will start clearing them out soon as well. They carry the endless summer ones and had some Dave Ramsey I would love to have.

While Driving I saw a yard that had a smaller bank covered in Annabelles. They were massive and it looked so beautiful. My bet is they must be 25-50 years old.

Thank you again.
