Hydrangea Love

This has truly been the year for hydrangeas in my garden!

'Frau Reiko'

Violet Mophead


I've been adding a few different varieties 
the past few years and wish I had room 
for more!



Newly planted 'Forever'  White Mophead.
I add lots of peat moss to the planting hole and around the plant to help with 
moisture retention.


Oakleaf Hydrangea






'Nikko Blue'





Hortensia Merritt's Supreme


I have 'Little Limelight' in my front border that is a late blooming panicle variety
and blooms in full sun.
I'll share it next month when it blooms. 

There are so many new varieties 
available now and I am trying to figure out where I can squeeze in a few more.
It's hard not to fall in love with hydrangeas!




Happy Gardening!

  1. Oh so beautiful! I'm just a wee bit jealous because we have no shade.

    I do have an Oak Leaf planted on the side of the house and it's blooming like crazy. It has rust on it (which I think is fungus) and we need to take care of that.

    You just keep sharing those pretty pictures. :)

  3. Lucky you! The hydrangeas are all gorgeous. Our oak leaf hydrangeas need to be cut back after all the rain we've had. The blooms are now brown. '-)
    Enjoyed seeing the beauty of your garden. Thanks!
