Winterizing Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas have expoded in popularity, due in no small part to the many new varietiesproviding a range of sizes, colors, and styles for any garden. As cold weather approaches, it is important to protect your investment and ensure a beautiful, healthy plant next spring. In the case of hydrangeas, it is important to know if your plant blooms on old wood or new wood: pruning or rough handling can damage or eliminate next year's blooms. If you are uncertain, give Cleve or any of our nursery staff a call, and they will steer you right! For some basic winter care tips for your trees and shrubs, click here for Knollwood's guide. For more specific information regarding hydrangeas, we like this very purple website (Hydrangeas! Hydrangeas!) for it's easy-to-understand information and sense of fun. If you are addicted to Hydrangeas (it's easy to be!), explore their site awhile for some great ideas.
