Little Lime and Limelight Hydrangea help?
Comments (4)You are fine. No chance of having bloomage problems for next year, cadence. Their blooms develop on new wood so that means the 2015 blooms develop in the Spring of 2015. It would be best to prune in winter when the plant has gone dormant as opposed to say in the middle of the summer with 100-degreeF 37-degreeC temperatures. But, sometimes these accidents happen suddenly and you have to play the hand that you were dealt regardless of the current weather conditions. Hopefully, temps have gone down for you. Enjoy those two shrubs. They are good choices. My LL still has green blooms. Once your shrubs get older and the stems get stronger, you should not see "too much" of this problem. Say 5 years or so? By the way, if you ever see heavy blooms and the threat of coming heavy winds, feel free to be proactive and cut selected blooms to prevent this problem again. Or add a wind break of some type.

Comments (17)Molly, I just picked up my Dicksons Gold campanula at my local small town nursery last year. I only bought one to give it a try. It doesn't spread/grow too fast(so far, for me) but I just love that it is so different. Right now it is loaded with pale purple flowers. I think I will probably pick up a few more of this variety when I decide where I want to put them. I tend to buy first, then try to figure out where to put things. Not the best way to go about things!...See MoreLet's see photos of hydrangea foliage in autumn!
Comments (18)I do the same as hc mcdole to post photos. My phone (an iphone) uses the same cable to charge as to hook into my computer (Mac) via the USB port. When I plug it in, iPhoto automatically opens and starts the download process. In iPhoto I can crop the photo or turn it so that it is upright before posting. A couple of other options exist that should work with any smartphone. You can post directly from the phone by using the phone's browser (which I hate doing since the screen is so tiny!) and navigating to the GW page you want to post to, and then selecting the photo icon below the box where you post and navigating to where the photo is stored on your phone. OR you can email the photo to yourself, download the photo from the email, and then post from your computer. Within the phone's file of photos, if you click on a particular photo, there should be an option (you might have to touch the photo to make the option visible) to transfer the photo elsewhere (Facebook, email, etc.) and you can just follow the screen prompts....See MoreLittle lime hydrangea planting
Comments (18)Here the BES, Rudbeckia fulgida in full sun at bloom is only about 18" tall, 24" max, even the 'Goldsturm' cultivar. A lot of it in these parts comes from the straight species and is self or nurery sown. That is one reason I specified this specie. Many other Rudbeckia can get much taller and yes 3' in front of the hydrangea is too tall. Rozanne is definitely the longest blooming hardy geranium. Most of the others are late spring, in season bloomers. Deadheading them is NOT worth the effort for more bloom. The finished flower heads are long lasting and a nice texture that I consider a bonus in the garden and they have seeds that make more geraniums. I've never seen 'Rozanne' self sow. The other thing I don't like about her is it maintains a central crown. Most of the other hardy geraniums spread by runners and are semi-evergreen, weathers depending, which makes for a better winter groundcover. Rozanne turns to mush at the first freeze. I'm too lazy to go looking for the proper botanical names for these other hardy geranium selections, but they do indeed exist in the nursery trade....See More- 2 years agolast modified: 2 years ago
