Can I WS Hydrangea now?

19 years ago

Hi! I got an Annabelle hydrangea seed from a trade, and I am wondering if that is something I would be safe to try winter (spring) sowing now, or if I should wait? Also, what I was sent was a flowerhead, with the instructions to crumble and plant the whole flowerhead - is this the way you all would do it? Thanks for any info you can give me!

Rebecca,

When in doubt, try some now and save some for later.

I winter sowed some Peegee Hydrangeas last year and they are into their second year at this point. I had great germination, but saved 4 and gave the rest away.

I'll have to try some of the other Hydrangeas this coming year.
