Hydrangea Petiolaris

#soonbespring

My bare hydrangea and fuchsia bush are now looking a bit more glam. I think more lights are required though.

Oh very glam....✨✨✨✨

Thanks Elaine, it will be double glam when my other 2 set of lights arrive 😊 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

😲😲😲😲😲😲👍🏼✨✨

Golden glow. I was leaving the roses for hips but I've just deadheaded it.

Hello hydrangea would you like to come in? Its like wading through a jungle getting in and out.

Beautiful

Thank you @novicegardenlover its lovely but a but unruly

I came home from work and was welcomed by the first flowers dotted about.

Getting near.

I have buds 😊

Not sure about this and its current position. The front of the house is south facing and the garden is really small. I'd like to keep it for sun lovers. I think I'll leave it maybe until the summer and see if its worth keeping there.

Climbing Hydrangeas like shade

@jaynehynesburton yes I've got a baby that's earmarked for the north facing back garden. It's quite an old mature plant though, it must be happy. I'm torn I dont want shade tolerant plants in that area but its huge and would seem a pity to dig it out.

I had one in sun all day in the other house and it was lovely

@jaynehynesburton that's good to know. I'll see how I feel about it next year. It's hard to make a decision when it's just bare branches.

Yes it is, it will look different again in spring. I was glad I waited with things here

@jaynehynesburton I'm going to try to not do too much in the first year and just try to learn wheres sunny and not so much. I say try because I have no patience 😁

🤣 I'm really bad no patience at all, it does pay you off if you can muster a bit 😄

Looks as if it’s reaching out for sun.....but good idea to leave it..👌🏼

I waited two years for mine to flower Deborah but it was worth it...👍🏼👍🏼

Oh good @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom. 🌝 I need it to hide the next door neighbours horrid fence and broken greenhouse (which you can see in the picture)
