A gift of a blue hydrangea this Easter is still looking good, in the 8" pot it arrived in, tho no flowers anymore. It has been inside my home, but I could place it outside.Can I plant it in a larger pot, or in the yard, and expect any flowers this season? My established pink bushes are blooming now (June) in S. Cal.

I've heard for years that florist hydrangeas won't thrive once the blooms fade.

That being said I was given 6 florist hydrangeas last year. I planted them out side, thay have survived the Michigan winter, they have fully leafed out.

Still waiting to see whether or not they will bloom or not.

The color of the blooms depend on the acidity of the soil.
