hello! Im new here too, and really enjoy this website! i hope someone gives you some good advice, i bought 3 not too long ago - nikko, sister teresa & blue wave. Im hoping for good results, in a shady location because my other nikko and forever & ever arent doing well in full sun.
I think i love them all! Its so hard to pick a favorite, though a classic nikko covered in blooms is breathtaking!

You might have better luck posting over at the Hydrangea forum. More traffic.

Oh, no--another Susan bitten by the hydrangea bug! I've had an Endless Summer for a few years, but all of a sudden this year I became rather hydrangea-obsessed. I planted a Little Lamb (paniculata), a species oakleaf, and a Sadie Ray (macrophylla). Then I started lusting after Limelight (paniculata). I gave in and bought it today.

Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with all three of yours, although I often see Nikko mentioned on the Hydrangea Forum. I agree with Carol--you're likely to get a good response on that forum.

I love my hydrangea, too. I put in a bunch of tardivas last year and added some quick fire a couple of months ago. Love them!
