Dividing Hydrangeas on Paper

I sent my son out to take a photo of my hydrangeas that I showed you last month.
Here is how they look, now, in mid-June (we're in central Georgia).

I then had to go out for a second photo-shoot, because I did not teach him about the "zoom" function on the camera. My error - not his. (I am going to have that 10 year old boy writing blog posts for me, before long.)

Several people have asked how to divide hydrangeas. I cannot physically do it with photos, right now, because it is mid-June and way, way, way too hot to divide hydrangeas and I don't want to kill them. (The plants are too far along into the summer and are too big to divide, now.)

Here is how I divide my Annabelle hydrangeas:
1. They need to be divided in the early spring, just as new growth is evident near the base of the plant.
2. Use a shovel to split the plant down the middle (like you are digging a hole in the middle of the plant). Here is my diagram.

3. Place one portion in the new hole (with a little osmocote and a bit of blackcow or other healthy dirt). Leave the other half of the plant where it is -and replace the missing dirt.
4. Water frequently from early spring until the end of summer!
5. Divide all of the plants again, next year, and you will have twice as many, each summer!

Make sure the hydrangeas have dappled shade most of the day. Mine have FULL sun from about 5:30 until 7:30 pm, ONLY.
