Hydrangeas | Growing Tips & FAQ: Garden Home VLOG (2019) 4K

There's such a dearth of gardening shows on TV...I'm so glad to have this to watch on youtube. Now I have a much better understanding of how to treat my hydrangeas.

I grew up seeing P. Allen Smith's segment "From the Garden" on TV. Now, in my late 30s, having just found his channel by happenstance this week, I feel like I have been reacquainted with an old friend. My childhood included years on a small organic farm, and young adult years included landscaping and nursery work, but over the last decade, I have not had an opportunity to garden or connect much with nature; I have missed it. However, I am soon heading back to country living and have found this veritable treasure chest of content just in time for garden inspiration--and maybe even heritage poultry! Thank you, Mr. Smith for your truly invaluable work and contagious spirit. You are a true American gem.

Allen Smith officially turned me into a gardener. One look at his blue chiffon Rose of Sharon and it was all over.

I once asked my brother-in-law how he kept his hydrangeas such a lovely blue. He ducked his head and mumbled that he peed on the soil around them. I can still recall my sister's facial expression.

I just love him! 🥰 😂 Like how he says, “poor hydrangea’s fault” and almost in the same breath drags the plant by the stem. 😭 His plants are so strong!

P. Allen Smith is my go to gardener. I've watched his show for years & love every episode. I have just received my very first Hydrangea from my husband for my birthday. It's a Pinky Winky Panicle Hydrangea. First place I went to to learn about the care of these beautiful plants is P. Allen Smith gardening. Great video! I learned a bunch & enjoyed a few laughs! Thank you Allen & staff! Thumbs up! :):)

He’s made me a happier hydrangea man, too. So thankful for his wisdom.

I love how charming you are with your audiences.

Did you ever meet hydrangea that you didn’t like? Neither did I! Priceless! So love your videos!

I DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD GROW HYDRANGEAS INSIDE. WONDERFUL.

I have a couple different types of hydrangeas and my advice for people who live in cold regions (I'm in zone 4) and also if you have deer that eat your hydrangeas is to get the Panicle types. I have a vanilla strawberry that's about 4-5 years old and the deer eat every bud off that thing every winter and it blooms faithfully every year without fail! Our winter's get down to at least -22°F. They are very carefree plants; all I do is trim them and feed them some organic fertilizer every spring and they reward me with the most amazing blooms every year!

Very informative and entertaining, too! I thank the lady who asked about her Vanilla-Strawberry panicle hydrangea. That was helpful because I have one also, which I planted in memory of my late father who loved vanilla ice cream topped with strawberries:)

I added oak leaf hydrangeas to my garden last year. They EXPLODED in growth in a year and look fabulous in my woodland garden. I'm so pleased to learn that they're native! 😁😁😁

Hello P. Allen! Im so thrilled to find you here on You Tube! My deceased husband and I used to love watching your show on television! I wanted to send you a photo of my front lawn and 1940 Craftsman Bungalow in Indiana. I really wanted your advice on how to most compliment my charming abode to achieve the best curbside appeal possible, but my husband took ill and i had to be his caretaker and so I havent even watched tv since he passed in 2014 from when he lost his battle with oral cancer. Im going to subscribe to your channel and support you here on You Tube. In December 2011 my son took me to Monticello and I was soooo surprised to find all of your P.Allen Smith plants and display at the gift shop lol. Anyway, just totally enthralled to find you here on You Tube and will be following along closely. Much love to you 😊💜

I'm pretty corny so I love the cornball sense of humour!! 🤣 Laughing out loud watching this!🤣 I have a very shady front yard and getting ready to plant hydrangeas! So glad I discovered they like shade/ dappled sun! I love them! Thanks for the great info and laughs to learn about these plants!

God I've always admired your job since I was 14 and I'm 27 now still a loyal fan. 💗

I’ve never met a hydrangea that I didn’t like either. I have several different types around the yard growing with my David Austin roses.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I need to prune ruthlessly! I thought my IncrediBall blooms were just small because they didn’t want the Annabelles to feel bad. 😉🤓. Jackpot on old (Ancient) garden tools in my parents’ basement! I feel a wall bouquet coming to fruition, Thank you, Allen, for this in-depth lesson on such a magnificent flower! You inspire me in so many ways!

Your so generous to produce these programs, great info thank you!

This was a really good video. Not only was it extremely informative but P. allen Smith was lively and engaging. This isn’t the way I've usually seen him. When he sits at the table and drones on I find my eyes are shut. Here he was humorous and I enjoyed it. Yay. Thank you!
