Hydranges - I think I first fell in love August 2007, Martha Stewart magazine had a terrific article on hydranges so I decided to try. I did some research and decided since I live in a windy area I would go with the short varieties. I bought a book called "Complete Hydrangeas" by Glyn Church. A few pages in I knew I was going to try this plant. The photographs are wonderful. I have 1 blue hydrange now and just added two more. I have another bed with three 20 year old need to be replace shrubs so I will monitor my local garden centre for hot deal.
