If the hydrangeas in the pot grow more and more over time, it is a good idea to plant them outdoors.
Four tips on what you should keep in mind.
Hydrangeas are not only extremely popular because of their lush flowers, their various uses also make the perennial very attractive.
As a potted plant, it not only beautifies balconies, but can also thrive as a houseplant in the right location.
Cut flowers can also be used to set specific accents in summer, for example as a summer table decoration on the dining table.
But it is also possible to plant potted hydrangeas in the bed later.
