If you’re striving for a classic garden look that also attracts bees and other pollinators, roses are an excellent choice.
If you need some alternatives to hydrangeas, we have suggestions! Maybe you already have a bunch or maybe the deer love them too.
we’re sharing answers to the five most commonly asked questions we get about hydrangeas in the summer to help you get back to just enjoying the view.
An endless drive for improvement is what motivates our big-leaf hydrangea breeding, so for us to make a new introduction, a plant has to be significantly better than what’s already available. That’s why Let’s Dance Big Band hydrangea has been added to the line: it combines bodacious, big mophead flowers with pure, true colors (pink in neutral/basic conditions, blue in acidic conditions) on a plant that survives winter better and reblooms better. That means more flowers, from the beginning of hydrangea season until the snowflakes fly!
