I had a lovely blue hydrangea that I got out of the pitiful sale pile last year. I stuck it in a large pot, it died off over the fall, and I left it in the pot and flipped the pot over so it wouldn't crack. I dumped off the dirt in a pile and used the pot for something else last week.

I came home this morning and noticed a bunch of shoots coming out of that pile of dirt. Is it possible that the hydrangea plant is coming back???

It was on top of the ground and it was below zero for many days last winter. I never expected it to survive since it was a runt to begin with or I would have covered it with leaves or something before winter and NOT dumped the pot. I may have to do a hydrangea rescue!
