Help! Must move hydrangeas!

15 years ago

Hi all,

We signed a contract today to have central air installed in our home. While this is a terrific upgrade for the people in our family, it may not be for the plants, specifically the hydrangeas. The compressor will be installed on the side of the house where I have three young hydrangeas that I have been nurturing for the last 2 years. Between the compressor being installed and the men working over there, I have to move them....one got trampled by the cable guy last year, so I predict this will be a necessity. What do I do? Am I better off moving tem to pots or finding a new permanent home for them? How do I move them at the height of bloom without damaging them?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Jooje
