Anyone have Pee Wee or Sikes hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia)?
Comments (10)After seeing Roper's Harlequin Glory Bower tree I was tempted to get one, even with the sucker issue, but recently read somewhere else that it needs afternoon shade so I think that's off the list. Right now I have the Sikes, Salvia coccinea (thanks to Pfmastin's pic with the hummer), and White Bomb chrysanthemum. I'm going to order for spring delivery. Don't want to move the abutilon until then. We'll start getting winter hummers in another month or two and that always puts on a big flower feast through the winter months. I'm still going to look locally, but if I can't find a dwarf oakleaf here I'll probably order from Lazy S's....See MoreWhere can I find Hydrangea quercifolia 'Roanoke'?
Comments (2)Snowflake, Harmony and Roanoke are names that I never see locally and not often online. I am not sure why. Have you found Roanoke since you posted? Maybe nursery stocks are depleted by the summer months (and now in winter) and will re-appear by the time that hydrangeas bloom in Spring 2013. You could also try special ordering via a local nursery (there may be minimum $$ requirements though). I know oakleafs are not as easy to propagate as mopheads but I did not think it would be so difficult to buy/find some of these oakleaf varieties!...See MoreTransplanting quercifolia
Comments (1)I am going to have to travel to Las Vegas to fugure out the odds :o) but, if you can get as big a rootball as is practical and provide it with TLC, you should be good to go. I had to dig out and plant back two hydrangeas temporarily and they managed to survide the house repairs. I got the rootball wet before starting, tried to maintain the root ball and soil intact (as much as was practical), covered the soil/roots with Icantrememberthename, place it in the shade (in an area with little wind exposure and applied root stimulator when planting back. Checked the moisture for a while using the finger method and yes, I still had some die back but that was two years ago and they are doing fine now. Note: I had to get help moving them because they were HEAVY when wet....See MoreHydrangea quercifolia 'Roanoke'
Comments (2)They is very similar as in the big ole blooms weigh down the stems when wet but the flowers have a slightly more open form to them. Check www.hydrangea.com to see if they have them. May have to wait a little if they have not restarted mailing or if they are out of stock & you have to wait until Spring....See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
