A blogging friend Brian Skeys has posted a holly hock this month, and asked if readers had a favourite plant this month. Last month I was eyeing another pot which had performed beautifully,and I had wanted to put it on as a special. Thinking about what has or is going to be the highlight of the month in the garden is a great one to look back on. Hopefully that special for July will still be blooming beautifully July 2020!
For August 2019 I have this lovely Hydrangea Paniculata Vanille Fraise. Here it is still in its white form, with large blooms weighted down with the first significant rains we had overnight. Now eight years old, and having suffered removals, and perhaps over harsh pruning a couple of years ago, it is has been in full blooms for about two weeks already.
If you have a favourite plant this month in the garden, why not leave a comment, and if you are a blogger, even better, why not start up this monthly post, and link in.
Your hydrangea looks wonderful Noelle, I also have mixed results with my pruning efforts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian...I think next year, I shall prune not quite so hard, and try and build up more wood, and smaller flowering side shoots.
DeleteA most pretty flower Noelle. A friend has recently acquired one and was most pleased with her purchase 😄
ReplyDeleteI've tried to strike cuttings but have not been successful. Maybe it was at the wrong time of the year.
