It has a rhizome-like root system and tends to spread once established.<BR/><BR/>No, I haven't been to the Garden Gate, though I think I may have passed by it before.

To...Thank you, Rose, for your visit and compliment. Today is one of those bittersweet days for me, as I'm sure it is for many people who have lost loved ones. It was sweet for me because I got to spend time with my grandson and the rest of our family here in Florida. <BR/><BR/>Lola, thanks for stopping by and leaving a heartfelt comment. My dad served in Vietnam and was outraged and saddened by how veterans of that era were treated while overseas and when they returned home. I think maybe people are beginning to appreciate what a sacrifice our soldiers really make, not only in terms of their service but also in terms of their loss of time with family. I know I sure missed my dad the year he was gone. <BR/><BR/>You didn't say what kind of hydrangea you have. This is the third season for mine, and they are finally blooming like crazy. The first year was nothing spectacular, last year was better, and now they are absolutely beautiful. I feed them twice a year with a timed release organic fertilizer. Once established, they don't require a huge volume of water. Keep them mulched. I use a rubber mulch since they are close to the foundation, and I don't want to attract termites. Good luck, and please stop by again.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-38826366948418757302008-05-26T20:10:00.000-05:002008-05-26T20:10:00.000-05:00Thank you for the poem.

And shun the ones who make it home.<BR/>My hydrangeas are planted on the NE corner of my home in zone 8. It doesn't seem to grow very much & has just started to bloom but with small blooms. Should I move it or just let it be & wait?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-18812505999559354622008-05-26T08:31:00.000-05:002008-05-26T08:31:00.000-05:00A lovely choice of poems to honor all veterans, in...A lovely choice of poems to honor all veterans, including your father and nephew. Too often we forget what this holiday is all about.<BR/><BR/>Love your hydrangea; I have two of these, too. They are actually hardy here in Illinois, so if you are moving up here, I'd definitely think about bringing them with you.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
