Hydrangeas in late summer…

September 1, 2009

Remember these Everlasting Summer Hydrangeas?

These bright blue beauties from early July now look like this:

As the bloom ages, it fades to this beautiful green. I promise it is the same plant. Scout’s honor.

By fall they will dry themselves and be ready to cut for indoor beauty all winter long.

A delicious bouquet!

Besides what I take for cuttings, I don’t prune my plants until the spring.  By then I can see which stems are dead and which have new life.  Then I just prune off all the dead stuff and these happy campers proliferate.
