Rhododendron would be lovely as well, but the soil is too bad for them right now.

They've done ok for me, but as I've learned more about hydrangeas, I realize I like varieties other than the mopheads more. "Endless" has taken a major growth spurt this year, although not blooming as much as I'd like--the cool, wet weather here has helped, too.

There's always a silver lining, isn't there? Last year I had a fascination [obsession really] with mopheads that morph from pink to deep red. This year it's that deep purple I'm scouting out. There are several planted around town but I suppose the owners wouldn't like it if I brought my shovel and helped myself. Tempting Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
