Root-prune the hydrangea in autumn when the flowers are fading. Work the soil in a new planting site. Dig up the hydrangea in November, after its leaves have fallen. Drag the tarp slowly and carefully to the new planting hole. Press the nozzle of a garden hose into the ground. Things You Will Need. Tip. Warning. Also Know, do Hydrangeas have deep roots? Hydrangeas do not form a tap root, so the root ball does not have to be super deep, but it should extend down as deeply as you can handle. The width of the root ball, in this case, is more important than the depth because of the fine, fibrous roots of the hydrangea. Accordingly, when can I move hydrangeas? Be sure to dig up as much of the hydrangea root ball as possible. Spring and fall are fine for planting hydrangea bushes; most sources I found recommend waiting for cooler weather and transplanting the bushes in late fall or very early spring while the plants are dormant but the soil is workable.Do Hydrangeas like sun or shade?Most hydrangeas thrive in rich, porous, somewhat moist soils. Add compost to enrich poor soil. They prefer full sun in the morning, with some afternoon shade; however, many will grow and bloom in partial shade.
