I have a Hydrangea Madame Emille Mouillere that I want to move. It's in too much shade. We have mostly sunny weather with temps in the 70s/80s right now. I was considering digging it up now and potting it, keeping it watered and in the shade for a couple of weeks before putting it in it's new home. I do really love this shrub and haven't seen it too many places, so I would hate to lose it. Should I wait for either cooler weather or for the shrub to be dormant? Also wondering if I should prune it back hard when I move it?
I also have two Annabelle Hydrangeas that have flopped onto the ground all season. I would like to cut them back to a basic framework and let them start over next year. Can I prune them now? They are really a mess. Also what will get me the best results, as far as sturdy stems next year, pruning hard to the ground, or to a foot high, or ... ??
Thanks... :-)
