Hydrangea 'Lanarth' - 2012

That's pretty :o)

Very, very nice. :o)

I agree....

I think this is probably my favourite hydrangea

Im not surprised Andrew, its lovely, unusual...

Thats striking. What sort of conditions does it need Andrew.

A moist humus-rich soil. I've given mine part shade but the first garden I saw it in, it was growing against a south-facing wall

Thanks Andrew

I can see why that could be your favorite hydrangea. I like the lacecap hydrangeas best and that one is flowering very nicely. I'm not familiar with that variety either, I'll have to look it up. I saw your 'Blue Bird' hydrangea and really like that one too. Do you have a lot of hydrangeas?

Only five shrubby hydrangeas. As well as this one, 'Preziosa' and 'Bluebird', I have a H. quercifolia and a H. paniculata. I also grow the climber H. seemanii

That is a nice group of hydrangeas, I've enjoyed looking at the pictures you've posted.
