Hydrangea from seed?

MOLLYBEE Villa Rica, GA(Zone 7a) Feb 15, 2003

Looking thru my seed box I noticed that I have some seeds for Oakleaf Hydrangea, and I wondered if anyone else had ever tried growing them from seed?
Any luck at it?
Any planting info would be great!
TIA

I tried, the seedlings were tiny...did not survive the summer. Wishing you better luck! Maybe someone has cuttings? John

Thanks John, Since I am soo tight for space I didn't want to waist my it with seeds that wouldn't make decent plants, know what I mean? I have regular Hydrangea's that are still kinda small from cuttings last year, guess I will just hold off on those seeds til later.
Thanks again!

Molly,
I took some cuttings last fall and put them in a pot to root. Some of them have new leaves opening up, now I don't know if that means they are rooted or not but you can always come and get one of mine if they are. I don't want to unpot them until a little later 'just in case' but I figure that maybe with them putting out new leaves they might have rooted this time.

That does sound like they have rooted!! What luck you have!! You are so sweet to offer me a rooted cutting, but the only way I will take one is if you have more than one and you have plenty for yourself too! Deal?
