A Hydrangea I bought a few weeks ago - still in its pot and awaiting to be planted out in the back garden - It ia so full of blooms - I wonder how much it has been "forced" to flower so well and wonder if it will disappoint me next year !! time will tell ! -- nice on black .
Still very mild but a rainy day today - so my plans of pottering in the garden have been curbed !
Looks wonderful Beryl, when you plant it Beryl give it a good feed and lots of water. Let the heads die off and do not cut off till spring, it will give a little protection over winter. ( This is what I do with mine )....Hope you don't mind me giving you this tip as I no you are a great gardener yourself.
This is beautiful. I have a lovely blue one which is wonderful at the moment and new this year. I have a pot waiting for it to be transplanted into but like you I wonder if it will be so glorious next year!
Hydrangea are beautiful. My late aunt use to call them Christmas Flowers, and that is the name I knew them by throughout my childhood. We are after all in the south and its summer for Christmas
@tonygig Thanks Tony , I was thinking on those lines , I have 2 options - bone meal or growmore ( or even a mixture of both !!!! ) - what do you think !
@ninaganci I am glad that you explained the fact that you are in the southern hemisphere otherwise I should be still thinking why "Christmas Flowers "!!!
Indoors, reading the papers instead !
