It's that time of the year when Hydrangea's are in flower, although where I live it can be a fleeting moment.







If the early summer is mild, these plants will delight with their display for an extended period. If the weather is hot and windy and the plants not adequately shaded, these flowers can be a brief appearance. Water, water, water is the key for Hydrangea's, especially in when in flower and especially when planted in pots.

In the nursery, we generally only get Hydrangea's in stock when in flower. As such, they make an attractive gift or as a way to provide a nice greeting at a doorway at Christmas. In years past, when the summer arrived early and HARD, I remember a few 40+ degree days where we were watering our Hydrangea stock ever couple of hours to maintain their flowers. Big leaves, big flowers and small pots combined with heat and wind means big water consumption from these plants.
