I love to look at them but they don't grow for me. Well, I can't say I've really tried... But the ones in my yard rarely have blossoms. We finally pulled them out by truck and moved to the backyard. Will see if anything happens. I just need to buy some new ones and get this book so I know what to do with them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-1677994669623160192013-08-08T03:14:26.336-04:002013-08-08T03:14:26.336-04:00I do a lot of container gardening but I've nev...I do a lot of container gardening but I've never tried putting a hydrangea in one of them.

We don't have any but maybe I'll see if I can find a variety to grow in a large pot next year.

It has something to do with the acidity of the soil, I think. Will check my library for this book... I'd like to read more about container options, too.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-26208878652635268902013-08-06T15:51:21.820-04:002013-08-06T15:51:21.820-04:00My garden is so barren.

I think it had one. :( Last year it did much better, so I'm not sure what happened this summer. This sounds like just the book for me! My mom has gorgeous hydrangeas in Oregon (along the coast), but maybe they're more difficult to grow here in Nebraska. Ooops! I forgot that I have an Oak-Leaf variety. It does VERY well!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-57686940681166182062013-08-05T21:06:15.724-04:002013-08-05T21:06:15.724-04:00This book is just so well done, and as a visual pe...This book is just so well done, and as a visual person.
