Hydrangea (Loughborough LE11)

This was a rescue plant. Although you don't usually cut off the flower heads as they add protection over winter I did cut the few it had so it could put all its energies into recovering. It will lose its leaves over winter but it is now healthy and should flower next summer. If you want to put it in the ground I would think about putting it in the shade with these heat waves we now have and somewhere you can water it easily. (I thought mine had died this summer!). You could keep it in its pot if you prefer, then you can move it around. I put it in a fairly big pot, (see 2nd photo), and used a mix of top soil and compost so it should be ok for quite a while before needing repotting or fresh soil added. It is fairly heavy so you will need a car to collect I should think 🤔
