I am propagating hydrangeas and they should be ready to plant outside. NOW, the big question: Can I do it now? Will the frost hurt them? Or should I just keep them in the house for the winter.
HELP!!!!!

Re: A question for any gardening experts out there
You are in Quebec? I think I would wait until the Spring. Here in Victoria, I would put them out now but back there it could get too cold much sooner. The little plants probably have softer stems (not woody ones yet) and are much more susceptible to frost. Good luck with them. I love hydrangeas!
Re: A question for any gardening experts out there
If I were a newly propagated hydrangea and you put me out in the frost, I think I would turn my toes up and expire. Let me stay under cover till the frost has gone.
Re: A question for any gardening experts out there
I am in North Carolina and they are truly hardy here but then this is not Canada. I think I would wait. Then after spring and summer they will be ready to beon their own

While hydrangeas produce spectacular flowers, they rarely, if ever, produce seeds. Because of this, propagating hydrangeas is typically done from cuttings. Read this article to learn how to root hydrangea cuttings.
