Hi Bev They are both so beautiful such lovely colours a bargain too.
Love the double petals on the first one, and such a great pic.
The bottom one is such a georgous bright pink so different from my pale ones.
Cheers..MM.

Sharon: I checked on pH of iron phosphate, it's between 4 and 6. Sulfur at 30% acidity is way more acidic. Sulfur is easily dissolved in rain-water into extremely acidic solution. I had seen gypsum with 18% sulfur or acidity killed earthworms instantly. I would choose iron phosphate, it's more toxic to snails, plus iron phosphate is INSOLUBLE, see chart below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_chart#:~:text=Solubility%20chart%20%20%20%20%20%20,%20%20%3F%20%2026%20more%20rows%20

Hydrangea in Container - Double delight wedding gown

Hi @mzdee same story with mophead.. it had bloomed noticeably only once in the last 5 seasons. this year it managed to create tons of buds but the unexpected April freeze destroyed all. as far as growing in container is concerened, i had amazing success with this double delights hydrangea. cant speak for others as i have not tried to grow in container yet. The pictured hydrangea is in my patio container since i bought it in 2018. i have not taken any special care except for adding thick layer of mulch. i did cover the plant with an inverted bucket stuffed with dry leaves when the late freeze arrive (couldnt save the other as that was simply too huge to fit in a standar home depot bucket being a mop-head in ground). I think you will have greater chance at success if you keep the container on a brick or wooden surface, ensure the sun requirement is met and your hardyness zone is at least one higher than the plant’s lowest tolerable range. you will also need to find a planter as big and large as possible. i planted the one in a resin planter (20”h x 24” dia) that sits in my brick patio in full sun, the plant is only 3’ at maturity and smaller size means it had less root mass compared to the larger verities, and cold hardy to Zone 5 (im in zone 6b). i dont fertilize it except for side dressing with compost and one application of organic fertilizer at the begining of season. This year i also invested in two proven winners reblooming kinds from ‘Let’s dance‘ seriese, because i am tired of the hit or miss (mostly miss) experience with the mop-head. lets see how that goes. PW has not dissappointed me ever in the 8 years of buying the brand, so i’m hopeful of a nice experience. hope you found the info helpful...good luck with your container experiment.
