Hydrangea season is in full swing. I have, over the last 15 years, been ‘collecting’ hydrangeas and devising many ways to display them in a garden setting. They bloom a very long time and even when they pass their ‘prime’ they are still very effective; in fact I love them more when they are faded. They truly carry the southern garden throughout the summer months.

Tomorrow on the American Hydrangea Society Garden TourI am going to see beautiful gardens and more hydrangea cultivars to lust over. Hope to see you there.

Gorgeous!
Sandra, your Hydrangeas are so beautiful. I’ve been unable to get them established in my current garden, but your post makes me want to try again.
