If you know someone that has strong mature plants that you like ask for a clipping.
Splice the end of the stick, insert Pebble, plant water, water, water and that plant will immediately take root. In the past I would just bury the stick then it would die off until the following season when new growth sprouts from the ground. If you take my suggestion with the split stick you would give the plant about a two year head start.
Note The more sticks the better.
I've seen people buy those small hydrangeas in stores and they seem to remain on the smallish side years after.
So drive by houses and if you see a large nice hydrangea ask the owner for some sticks.
