Hydrangeas in frozen north?
How do they get on over wintering in e.g. Gateshead? Could someone with
personal experience please let me know. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

I have four Hydrangeas in my garden that must be ten years old. They flower every year. They were blue and lacy, now they are pink and solid. pH!

I want to send someone H.'Pink Twisty' as a 'thank you' for some help he's given me with family research and I just wanted to be sure it would be safe 'up there'. ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

They are looking lovely at the mo in Aberdeen - I have one which has grown on outside in a pot for a few years now, with no ill effects - left out summer and winter - rain or very occasional shine :-) Chris S |

My dwarf one has been flowering since April on buds formed last year. Where I live it is difficult to keep them blue. It is among 10 hardy fuchsias which overwinter. I am nearer the sea than Gateshead so slightly milder. The frozen north is not so frozen anymore. I lost an expensive acer japonica, but suspect that was a dry spell and cold winds. You will find Gateshead quite dry compared to anywhere West of the Pennines. -- Jim S Tyneside UK www.jimscott.co.uk |

I know he has other Hydrangeas so I think he knows how to look after them. This is a very new introduction and I wanted to send something a bit special. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
