Hydrangea

That's doing very well - cut mine down weeks ago

Cut it down??? ... Nooo ...leave the spent flowerheads on as frost protection for the new buds ... too late I guess ... :o(

oh dear lol

Well, the frosts may damage the top buds ... but you can cut back to the next ones in the Spring ... :o)

it doesn't do much for us - hardly any flowers - so it maybe replaced to be honest - room for another pyracantha I feel :)))))))))))))

:o)))

You sound a bit like a mad axeman,Paul !Lol..I must admit though,I never had much luck with a Hydrangea I had..it just didn't flower well either..

I've just got two patio ones, with them only being small i've put them in my greenhouse till spring.

They'll thank you for that, Carol ... :o)))

I didn't used to like hydrangeas very much , but when we moved to this house and had created a lot of different borders , I bought one , then another ,and another... now I have 8 and I love them.They just grew on me, so to speak.One has just started to flower again. That is strange. Yours are lovely too, Shirley.

A very welcome new bloom Shirley ;o)

Rose, I always though of Hydrangeas as 'old folks' shrubs ... seems I'm heading that way now ... lol! Are yours different shades of pink/red/blue? .....
Thankyou Amy ... just so many strange happenings in the garden for the time of year! . . . . .

Love Hydrangea Shirley, and would love to get hold of an Oak Leaf Hydrangea too lovely...such a nice Variety...

I also like to see the spent blooms on the shrub, and it does protect the new growth too...:)))

I just Googled Oak Leaved Hydrangea ... there is one for sale on e-Bay for £9.99 ... not sure if that would be helpful to you though! ... :o)

Thanks Shirley, You know I must confess I have never used Ebay, really not sure how to go about it, truth be told lol...

Join the club, Sue! ... I would not have a clue where to begin with it ... :o)

:))))

Me neither..and not really interested...although I believe there are bargains to be had..I like to look around..and it gets me out of the house ! :o)

: o )))
