The plants arrived healthy and lush. They shed almost all their leaves two weeks after they arrived. But this is how they look like now. They’re already budding!
Beautiful and thriving!! Thank you for sharing your photo with us!😍
Couldn’t be more pleased! The healthiest Hydrangeas I have ever purchased, especially being early October! The proof is in the photos.
I received my Fairytrail Fresco® Cascade Hydrangea (Hydrangea hybrid) mid May this year (2025) and planted in a large pot right away following the instructions and light recommendations. The plant has beautiful foliage and looks very healthy but has not bloomed. Is that typical? Getting ready plant it in the ground. Any suggestions?…
Thank you for sharing your review of your Fairytrail Fresco® Cascade Hydrangea! Yes, it is not unusual for a hydrangea to not bloom the first year it's planted. They may spend the first year focusing on root growth and getting established in their new environment. Your hydrangea looks very healthy and should bloom in the Spring.😊
Here is some transplanting advice:
Hydrangeas in general transplant pretty easily, thanks to their shallow root systems. The very best time to transplant them is in early spring, before the new growth begins, but they can be transplanted later in spring or in fall, when the weather has cooled off, if necessary. Avoid transplanting when it’s hot and sunny, unless it is absolutely necessary (i.e., construction, moving, etc.).
When transplanting, it’s always a good idea to prepare the new spot as much as possible before digging the plant out of its current location. Once you see the size of the root ball, you may need to adjust the new hole a bit, but overall, you should aim to minimize the time the plant spends out of the ground. Plant in the new spot using only your natural soil, water well after planting, and mulch. The plant may struggle a bit that first season, but keep it watered and cared for – it will rebound and be just fine in the long run as long as you provide the TLC to get it through the first several months after transplanting.
Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any further questions!
Sincerely,

These babies arrived in wonderful condition, very lovingly packaged for shipping. I ordered 3 quart size as gallon size was sold out. I planted them in large pots with a few small companion plants (annuals) and placed them in partial shade areas. They have filled in nicely in about a month but am disappointed that I probably won't see any flowers until next season. The anticipation is killing me. Stay tuned for a summer of'26 update.
We are so happy to hear that your plant order has arrived! Be sure to share photos when they bloom!😊
