Water when the soil feels dry, taking care not to overwater. Once the flowers have faded, remove them. Leave the foliage as is. Move the pot to a sunny spot outside once the temperature remains above freezing and keep it watered. After the leaves die back, you can plant the bulbs immediately or wait and plant them in the fall.<\/p>\n<h2>Hydrangea (Hydrangea cv.)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12392 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsfarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hydrangea.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Place the hydrangea in the coolest room in your home next to a window where it can get as much light as possible. Do not overwater it by allowing it to stand in water or by watering it too often. It is always best to plant the potted hydrangea outdoors whenever possible. It should only be planted outdoors in early to mid-summer as it needs time to acclimate to outdoor conditions before winter arrives. Expect it to lose leaves the first season in the ground. It will not flower again that year. The following year fresh green growth will announce that it survived the winter.<\/p>\n<h2>Mums (Chrysanthemum cv.)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12393 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsfarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mum.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mums come in many colors and stay in bloom for a long time, sometimes 2-3 weeks. These same plants can then be planted in flower gardens, cut back and will bloom again in the fall.<\/p>\n<h2>Asiatic Lilies (Lilium asiatic)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12394 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsfarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/asiatic-lily.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsfarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/asiatic-lily.jpg 377w, https:\/\/www.meadowsfarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/asiatic-lily-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These lilies produce showy blooms that range in color from pastel to brilliant shades of pink, red or orange.
