Hydrangea Garden Tour in Peak Bloom! Kansas Zone 6

I'm taking you on a tour of my hydrangea collection while everything is in peak bloom here in my Zone 6B Kansas garden. From classic Annabelle hydrangeas to newer varieties like Flowerful, Invincibelle Ruby, Invincibelle Spirit II, Wee White, Haas Halo, and Incrediball. I'll show you what each one looks like in a real garden setting—not just in a catalog photo. We'll also visit my favorite oakleaf hydrangeas, including Alice, Snowflake, Ruby Slippers, and a few mystery varieties that are putting on quite a show this year. Along the way, I share: 🌿 Hydrangeas that thrive in clay soil with minimal care 🌿 Which hydrangeas stay upright after rain—and which ones flop 🌿 Pink hydrangea options that bloom on new wood 🌿 Pollinator-friendly lacecap varieties 🌿 How these plants are performing without fertilizer this season 🌿Companion Plants that Bloom at the Perfect Time with Hydrangeas If you're trying to decide which hydrangea to plant, or you're simply a hydrangea lover, I hope this garden tour helps you discover a few new favorites. 0:00 - Oakleaf and Smooth Hydrangeas are in their Prime Bloom 1:03 - 'Alice' Oakleaf and 'Snowflake' Oakleaf Hydrangea 3:21 - 'Incrediball' Hydrangea and an Unknown Oakleaf 4:40 - 'Haas Halo' Hydrangea 5:51 - 'Invincibelle Lace' Hydrangea is better for Pollinators 7:00 - 'Annabelle' Hydrangea Heaven Coming Soon! 8:44 - 'Invincibelle Spirit II' Hydrangea 9:47 - 'Incrediball' Hydrangeas in the First Area I planted When I Moved In 11:12 - 'Invincibelle Ruby' Smooth Hydrangea 11:52 - 'Blue Mouse Ears' Hosta Blooming 12:17 - Beware Rabbits with Your Oakleaf Hydrangeas until They Get Big 13:46 - 'Flowerfull' Hydrangea 15:40 - 'Invincibelle Wee White' Hydrangea and 'Ruby Slippers' Oakleaf Hydrangea 18:48 - Real Life Results: All These Blooms with No Fertilizer 19:30 - Annabelle, Flowerfull and Incrediball After a Storm
