where and how to plant my hydrangea bush?

I have a hydrangea bush that I am waiting to plant as well. The salesperson told us to put it somewhere that it would get a limited amount of light a day and water it once a week, then plant it in the middle of April. We live in Virginia, so we probably have to wait longer then you, but you may want to wait until the middle of this month at least. You should dig the holes a couple feet apart (unless you want to transplant themin a couple of years) and add some potting soil to it so that the roots will have an easier time getting established. They should be watered often. They probably will not bloom the first year or two, but they should grow. Good Luck.
