haase I have not seen them in Germany. Then I moved here when I was very young and before then sure was not into growing grass, just laying in it roflmao I only have this ONE...is the whole thing the SEED thing? Dorothy I hope this WE is better for you then this day was. Patty amazing the things that grow out of bird food. Isn't it lol. Got all these sunflowers and who knows what else growing because of it. I do like this a lot and want to grow it again next year...MORE of it though. I wish I could give the proper thank you to the seed donor...but I am not that good yet with seeds. THANKS does go here to the GW member though! So Karyn...or whoever was so kind to share...THANKS so much Lucy

Monrovia 5G pots are too slim for hydrangeas. They're slimmer than most #3 pots which is ridiculous. The diameter of the root ball should be increased as soon as possible.

I do that too. I google images and put them next to one another to see what looks good. There are apps that allow one to do this better, but I'm not that sophisticated. : ( I've even had luck googling various roses and getting pick of them being grown together. That's how I knew Munstead Wood and Viking Queen would look good with New Dawn, as well as Fields of the Woods if I want to get it in the future. Red is a hard one depending on its undertones, but that intensity probably calls for an equally intense tone ie a deep blue or violet or white. I think pastel lavender would wash out. White is always good with reds.

I trim them down.It looks much, much better. If I want more plants I will let one go to seed or better yet,just divide the mature clumps when they start getting big.They are very tough plants.They need to be kept on the moist side for a little while after being transplanted.
