I have a magnificent hydrangea that I purchased at the local Kroger store. It has massive sized, aqua/brownish blooms. Of course, I want to save it for the garden. In years past I have managed to save the impressive hydrangeas that I found at the grocery in December(usually white). I usually keep them in their original pots on my glass-enclosed porch----where I keep the temperature in the low 50's during the winter (I live in 7B). It has been a number of years since I have done this and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can make sure that it survives. It already has small little green buds forming at the bottom of the stem. Also, any idea on the name of this plant?

Thank you,
Shirleyd
