Re: new addition today in the garden
I'm fond of hydrangeas Realspeed and that one looks a beauty. I don't know if it is true, but I have heard somewhere that to keep the colours true the plant has to be watered with either acid or alkaline water around the soil depending on the colour.17-07-2019, 04:25 PM

That's good then Realspeed. I fancy a white hydrangea with big mop heads. Just yesterday I also saw a beautiful icy pale pink one in a garden centre - again with big mop headed flowers, but it was too expensive for me at £25. It was a very posh garden centre and I usually only go there for a look.17-07-2019, 07:14 PM

Aerolor, you and I must have the same tastes, because I just bought an very pale, icy pink one too. I'm really pleased with it.
I can't remember what it cost now because I bought other things at the same time, but it would have been nowhere near £25 else I wouldn't have got it.
My old one didn't come through last winter too well, so when I saw this lovely pale pinky/white one, I got it to replace the older one.
I will try and get a photo before the flowers fade and show you.

Re: new addition today in the garden
I love the pale pink ones, Mups. My husband has just come back from town with a lovely white hydrangea. It's quite big, about 18" high and 18" across, in full flower. I know just where I am going to put it, but it might be a bit sunny. He bought it from a man who has a stall on our Friday market - £4 and a bargain, I think. I'll have to read up what it needs to make it thrive. Hope it has a decent root on it. I think it was the same stallholder that my d.i.l got hers from a couple of weeks ago. She bought hers at the end of the day and it was reduced at £3 and it seems to be doing fine, but early days.| Thread Tools | |
