Has anyone grown "Pinky Winky" in a container in a northern climate ( I am zone 5, Ohio). I bought a smaller specimen last spring and planted it in the ground. I have now decided that I would rather have something else in it's place. I also want to experiment with perennials in containers and thought this might be a good use for this hydrangea. Anyone have any experience or advice. Interested in hearing what you have to say about sun exposure and over-wintering techniques.
Hydrangea paniculata "Pinky Winky" in container?
I was given Pinky as a gift two years ago and put it in the ground in my front garden, which gets morning sun. It didn't do well, so last fall I moved it to an oak barrel (different location, with afternoon sun) and mulched it with oak leaves for the winter. I uncovered it in February, fed it in March, and am happy to report that it's leafing out nicely.
