Hydreangeia question email this discussion to a friend?

Our local Aldi's has potted plants for $3.99 ea and one is a small hydrangia the size of a large mum plant.

My question since it doesn't have a label to state the variety....

would it work if I bought the plants and then once planting season starts if they live plant them in my yard? As the plants even at walmart are atleast $20. What do you think? I'm in USDA zone 5 by the way.

I looked up Hydrangeas and they are hardy from zones 4 to 7 depending on the variety. Unfortunately you do not have a variety so you are taking a chance. For 3.99 unless you are poor it would be worth taking a chance. I certainly would as they are perennial and if successful will provide blooms for years. Sometimes you have to roll the dice.

Are there any houses with hydrangeas that are blooming in your area, that is usually a good indication you should be ok.

My grandmother had a large one (so big I could hide under it as a kid) and she lived about 20 minutes away.
I was thinking for $3.99 on a younger plant it would be perhaps worth the risk. As even if you buy the regular 1-2gallon size at the store you still take a chance in it's survival into the next growing season ya know?

As I've bought potted roses and I've bought the ones with just the rootball and they did as well as each other and the potted were 3x the cost.
