that I just love!  Today while pulling
thistle and cutting Hollyhocks back,
I spotted a couple sports on the oldest
variegated Hydrangea.

The collection!  Each gallon pot has at

High Temps.

  Here comes a week of heat, so they
say.   Remember to water and keep 
it green!    

Summer Cut Back

 









It's time to do the summer cut back.
If you want fall blooms. Remember
you need to fertilize after you cut back.
Keep them watered during the higher
temps.
