It's a perennial shrub and your planting location is excellent. Water it very frequently and cross your fingers as it is probably a florist type hydrangea and may need some extra pampering to get it going......yg

here is the picture of it.... And thanks YG!!!

OOOPS one more question do i need to add anything to the soil to keep it this color?? Someone told me to put rusty nails in the ground around it?????? NEver heard this but i never owned one either hehehehe

This is a very general oversimplification but.... acid soils (6- ph) will produce blue blooms and limey/alkaline soils (7+ ph) will produce pink on your type of hydrangea (macrophylla). Purple is a difficult color to maintain as it is in between pink and blue and a ph point one way or the other can change the color. It all depends on the starting ph of your soil. If you naturally have about 6.5 ph then perhaps you will be able to keep the purple color. The rusty nail idea has been around for a while and I don't know how much it will acidify the soil (or how many nails are needed to have an effect) but I wouldn't want to garden around rusty nails. (the tetanus shot hurts) Besides, if it does work, it may just turn your hydrangeas blue rather than maintain the purple. At the end of the day, nothing will permanently alter your ph, so it's best to skip the hassles and headaches and just appreciate whatever color you get. Just to complicate matters; there are some cultivars of hydrangeas that are naturally heavily pigmented to the pink/red side. For these hydrangeas, acid soils will not produce blue. The highest they will go in the color range is purple/wine, therefore you can be assured of purple in acid soils. Based on the above picture, yours does not appear to be one of those......yg

Just bought my first hydrangea. Pink is beginning to show.It is in a 7.5 gal. pot. Is it too late to turn it blue this season?

We planted a hydrangea 2 years ago. Unfortunately, I cut it back in the fall -- big mistake, I know -- and did not get any blooms last summer. Did not cut it back at all last fall. My question is: can we expect blooms this year?
