When can you transplant hydrangeas? Expert advice on successfully moving these glorious plants to new parts of your yard

Blue hydrangeas.

It’s not difficult to learn how to grow hydrangeas, but when can you transplant them? These resilient plants cope well with most soil types, can be grown in full sun or partial shade, and require little maintenance. However, if you transplant them at the wrong time of year you’ll risk losing these prized plants, which take a number of years to reach maturity.

Hydrangeas are such a firm favourite in our yards for their sheer variety, reliability and blowsy, long-lasting blooms. Whether grown on their own in a border, or as an informal hedge, their voluptuous flower heads provide color and texture in spades.
