The Growing Season, July 6, 2024 - Hydrangeas 2024

“Questions, concerns, queries?” Lets chat!They're one of the most asked about plant materials on sites and designs and The McFarlands spend 54 minutes discussing them on this week's episode of The Growing Season.  Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland spend close to an hour on hydrangeas.  From 5-10 classic varieties to dozens upon dozens of variations of the flowering shrub the hydrangea has bloomed in popularity.  Oakleaf, big leaf, smooth, french, panicle and climbers are all discussed alongside how and what to design in with them.  Is it true that hydrangeas can take dense shade?   Yes and no.  The trio explain.  How do you prune hydrangeas?   That's where things get interesting.  Matt explains in heavy detail how and when to prune the various varieties of hydrangeas.  It can be overwhelming. Are there reblooming hydrangeas?   If so, how would one get them to rebloom?What about ever bloomers?  Is there such a thing.  The McFarlands discuss hydrangea trees and how to design with them.  Tune in.
