HYDRANGEA with HEUCHERAS......

Beautiful

I bought a lacecap for £1 a couple of years ago and its flowered for the first time and is a lovely mauve--- its in a pot do you think it would go bluer if I gave it an ericaceous feed?, the Heucheras are nice i'm thinking of getting some more they are such lovely colours these days

Thanks Yorkshire..
Yes Pam, I think an ericaceous feed would be likely to encourage your pink hydrangea to produce flowers with a bluer hue...

Lovely ..

Pretty mix:-)

Beautiful combination Terra;0)

lovely together terra ;o))

Good combination, TT. I am still waiting (not very patiently!) for my hydrangea flowers to open - I don't think they are going to be blue this year, they look white! I love heucheras too and they seem to like my back garden.

Good luck with your hydrangeas, Gee...
I've been battling for weeks, to keep mine watered !

Thanks Clarice, Bornagain, Pansypotter and Sandra. :o)

Stunning TT. As you said, lovely shapes and beautiful colours. :o))

Hi Linda... pleased you like this :o)

Hello Stroller.... yes those erigeron seeds will germinate all over the place :o)

Thanks David... :o)))

Lovely combo :-)))

fantastic complementary colouring~

Thank you Arlene...

I accidentaly snapped a few branches off our hydrangea about 6 weeks ago Terra. I popped them in water and they are still looking OK but no roots have formed from them yet. I am still waiting......and hoping any advice my friend? :-)

Hi Richard...
Can you put the branches into damp compost ?
Take off a lot of the leaves....
I've grown hydrangea cuttings in compost in the past...
not tried in water ...

I will try that Terra it sounds a good method especially as you have had success with it - thanks alot :-)

Good luck with your cuttings Richard :o)

That's beautiful TT, as you say a great combination.

Thanks Bob :o)

Love this combination colourwise...i agree, about the watering Tt, the
Hydrangea`s do like plenty of it, as well as lots of feed....: ~ )))

Lovely TT. Is that a hebe in the background? Love the combination of colours.

Hi Freesia... Thank you...
yes ... I give my hydrangeas lots of water... thirsty plants !

Thanks Macpat.... Yes a hebe in the background... Bought it in aid of charity, as a very tiny plant... Now it has lots of leaves, but it hasn't yet flowered... so no identification at this stage ...

i love Hydrangeas ,

Hi Detectorist...
I'm pleased to have photographed a flower you like so much :o)

beautiful! I have had one now for 5 years and has NEVER bloomed :( any suggestions??

Hi Heartnsol57 ... Thanks ..
Hydrangeas do seem to like plenty of water....

.. and Freesiaperson mentions in a comment above about giving lots of feed too.. I hope your hydrangea flowers for you soon....

A great combo TT....

Looking good TT

thanks Terratoonie, I will try that!

Thanks Dotty and Pip....
and good luck Heartsnsol with your Hydrangeas :o)

Do you know what variety that is? I really like the lacecap hydrangeas but there are only a few varieties that do well where I live.

Hello Rk...
The hydrangea above is a mystery plant I purchased from a stall at a dog show.... so unfortunately I don't have the name ..

... but there are more hydrangeas on my blogs:
21st July, 2010 "Welcome Rain.. Yes and No"
and
29th July, 2010 "Garden Guests".

I'll try to name some of those if you wish... one already on there is identified... Hydrangea serrata Blue Bird...

I hope this helps.
