Hydrangea care?
got a beautiful hydrangea at Marbridge, in their tropical plants section.
It's not doing so well out on my deck (in a pot) next to my hibiscus. The flowers are dead/dying. Now I moved it so it is in spotty shade. (maybe 15% shade) Is it just done blooming?

He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, Here lived a great sweetsweeper who did his job well. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr |

It will cycle back, just not sure when! Try doing a google.com search for Hydrangea. They are a popular plant and I'm also still learning about them since a girl at work gave me one for my birthday this year. :-) My blooms finished dying off a week or so ago but the foliage is looking fine. -- K.

Thanks Katra. I think it was just done blooming. The foilage looked great
until I moved it into the shade - that's the night the deer came to visit. They have learned that there is some tasty Japanese ligustrum babies in that spot! My deck is getting fuller and crowded from trying to keep these plants alive! With hope and heart, Kathleen got a beautiful hydrangea at Marbridge, in their tropical plants section.

Lowe's sells big rolls of deer netting...... Might be worth the investment? Or get a pop up greenhouse. G Kat -- K.
