$5. Large flowerpots are a great bargain! I detest bright yellow so no Tweeties in my yard either. But the green? Most definitely! I would so take your hydrangeas but they would be dead here in half an hour in summer. Sigh.
I think those flowerpots are somewhere in the 5 to 10 gallon size. I couldn't believe my luck in finding them on sale like that!
Hubby and I both love hydrangea's so we have several different kinds of them as well as shrubs that produce flowers that look like hydrangea flowers (the Viburnums).
Thee hydrangea's are beginning to be only borderline hardy here. Should we have another major summer drought, I doubt they would survive it without constant watering.
The only way they survived this summer's heatwave was due to that extra thick coating of fall leaves I practically buried them in last fall. Those leaves practically glued themselves together to form a fairly effective evaporation barrier.
No matter the color, they were definitely an excellent buy!
The three green ones I bought will be put to a lot of use come next spring.
-------
Although they look tacky, I've been buying lidless plastic storage bins at the Goodwill for a dollar each. Once I have a hole cut into the bottom for drainage, they make excellent large size flowerpots.
I planted my horseradish roots in one of them this summer and they are growing quite well in it.
[I'm trying to plant myself an herb garden with seldom-found herbs in it--when I can afford to buy them. The horseradish root came from a local grocery store--cheap--and it broke in half before I could plant it. No harm done, because both pieces sprouted nicely.]

I'll be burying them in leaves again this fall.

Good score on those large pots!
do you have any slopes for the hydrangeas?

I do have a slope with some hydrangea's already planted on it. Trying to keep them weed whacked is a major chore.

You've got it.
