This beautiful plant is still in a pot. It has survived 6 years and is loaded with blooms. In February the association sent me a letter telling me to get rid of the dead plant in the pot. I informed them that it had stalks that looked dead but when new growth appeared I would trim it back and it would flourish. I don't think I will plant this one in the ground.
The one on the right I planted in the ground 2 years ago. It's huge but has very few blooms. The association's landscapers cut it back at the end of the season. I have not been able to stop them or make them understand that I will trim it.
What a difference.
Wow! I love hydrangeas too! Yours are really beautiful! Here in Finland they don't grow very well... winters are too long!
ReplyDeleteYour hydrangeas are beautiful, Carole! I got very annoyed, though, reading about your association's letter to you. Grrr! What do they know?? Glad you kept it. It obviously loves where you've placed it.
