Virtual Hydrangea Success Series: In-Ground and In-Container Planting Webinar

This online webinar is for gardeners who wish to learn more about Heritage’s successful practices associated with the very important garden chores of planting – both in ground and in containers. While the focus of this workshop is hydrangeas, the planting techniques and soil creation and amendment procedures are largely universal to most of the woody ornamentals you would plant on the Cape. The important best practices for mulching, fertilizing, and hydrangea bloom color control will be addressed.

Additionally, of all the hydrangea species, H. macrophyllas are the best suited to container growing. This method is the only sure way you can obtain reliable blooming – even on Cape Cod! Best of all – container growing provides an effective ‘mobility factor’ – a comparatively easy and efficient way to move and protect these cold-sensitive plants from winter. Curator of Hydrangeas, Mal Condon, is particularly fond of this growing method and has developed superior ways to enhance the growth and protection attributes through his “Pot-N-Pot” and “Bag-N-Pot” growing techniques that he will share in this program.

The live webinar will feature a detailed slide presentation, and a chance for questions and answers with Mal. All program webinar registrants will receive a PDF of the slide presentation, via email, after the presentation. Advance registration is required and registration for this program ends at 6 am on Thursday, September 17.
