Hi, I'm hoping for your expert advice. I want to propagate my hydrangeas from cuttings. (this will be my first time ever propagating anything!) If I start, say next weekend (July 19th), how long will it take to root? After it roots, will it be too late to plant them into the ground? I'm worried about 2 things: 1) it's hot, hot, hot here in August even in the shade and 2) will the tiny plant survive the winter?

Alternatively, could I root the plant and move it (or them, probably 5 or 6 from one cane) into a bigger pot and keep them inside until next spring?

Thanks for any advice!

Patty
