We have in a cold environment at least two obviously different hydrangeas that peaked at 4 ft. and 7 ft. high. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

I've seen hydrangeas reach full height in 2 years, but my area has winter rains - with no snow, so they grow all year long. -- Carrot cake counts as a serving of vegetables. |

Freckles There are many different kinds of hydrangeas. Ours are all about 5 years old and only the Oak Leaf Hydrangea attempt such heights. The mopheads and lacecaps are content well shy of 6 ft. The second year they were as tall as they ever got. Some grow new wood each year, some keep old wood. None are identical and few are ever 6 ft. One we don't grow is Paniculata and it will grow 15 foot tall, so it would probably pass 6 feet in one year. Another we don't grow is the climbing hydrangea that gets up to 80 feet tall. It probably would surpass 6 feet in one year. The USNA has a good hydrangea site: http://www.usna.usda.gov/Gardens/faq...angeafaq2.html -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to Visit my Rhododendron and Azalea web pages at: http://rhodyman.net/rahome.html Also visit the Rhododendron and Azalea Bookstore at: http://rhodyman.net/rabooks.html Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA Zone 6 |
