Question
I bought a 'Sweet Dreams' hydrangea this spring. The only thing that was on the tag was it's name. I have no idea if it is perennial or annual and nobody in the store could tell me. I have tried to find it on the net but with no success. Do you have any idea what it is or how I can take care of it? I have it growing in a tub in mostly shade. It is doing well but living in zone 5 I don't know what to do with it in the winter. I have a spot for it in the ground but I don't know if it will survive. I sure would appreciate your input. Thanks.

Dear Jane,
  Go to this website for the care of your hydrangea-Sweet Dreams is one variety of the "Lacecap Hydrangea".

I regret to tell you I have had NO luck with this particular plant--but that was before I knew how to grow anything!!
