Hydrangea paniculata Tardiva question
Comments (15)Wow, Katy, I see you're growing coins in your garden now - what a fantastic idea. Where'd you get the seeds? Those oakleaf pictures are useful - I'd have guessed the plants in the 2nd one were some other kind of hydrangea. Renee, I'm not what you'd call an avid weeder, so sometimes a seedling will be in bloom before I realize it's there. I'll see if I can find some little Tardivas and get some photos, though....See Morehydrangea paniculata
Comments (13)Good for you getting your dahlia cuttings out. Agree with Cynthia to take care of your hands. Cat scratches can get infected. (Waving at Cynthia, "Hey, Girl.") I haven't gotten my dahlias in the ground yet. I start them inside so they are already growing. Need to prepare a bed but still too wet from a week of off and on again rain each day. More rain expected tonight and Tuesday. No garden work for me today as had friends from out of state visiting. They took us out for dinner so no cooking for me either. Great relaxing day with plenty of reminiscing and laughing. Worked in the gardens yesterday mulching tomatoes and fertilizing clematis. Also moving some plants and adding others throughout a gentle on and off rain. Was surprised when DH called me in for dinner. Expect to do more planting out and some weeding tomorrow....See Morebest hydrangea varieties to train to standard form that don't flop
Comments (0)Hi, I'm considering training a paniculata variety of hydrangea into a tree form. I'm concerned that I don't use a variety that will have blooms so heavy that they weight down the flowers and branches. Some seem so heavy that the branches are at danger of breaking under the weight. So far I'm considering quickfire and fire and ice and have taken cuttings. Does anyone have suggestions of zone 4 hardy varieties that either did or didn't work for them?...See MorePaniculata vs Macrophylla which hydrangea to pick?
Comments (9)I won't plant another macrophylla hydrangea. Not much luck with them here in my zone 5 area. I have incrediballs whic are blooming ok but the wind tends to decimate the foliage. I love my lime and little lime. Incrediball 3rd year plant: Little Lime 2nd year plant not blooming yet: Nantucket Blue Macro 2nd year has one little bud and wilts every afternoon: Limelight 2nd year: Little Quickfire 2nd year: I'm hoping they all start to really take of this year. I bought most of them as tiny qt size or less plants....See Moreprairiemoon2 z6b MA
