Hydrangeas seem to have a difficult time in alkaline soils, as well as alkaline water. By adding sphagnum peat moss to the soil as well as a pine bark mulch this will help with the soil ph. Looking forward to a great hydrangea blog this summer from you.Maryanne Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436072623583058041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105191883930538662.post-38441222615496041622014-02-05T21:19:14.098-05:002014-02-05T21:19:14.098-05:00hi Mary Anne - thanks so much for coming by my blo...hi Mary Anne - thanks so much for coming by my blog and for your kind comment.

It is a challenge for me to find the one that does well in our heat, but I have a heavily shaded patio off one of the bedrooms, which is quite large, and I'm hoping this spring to get some new ones started. I'm going over to check out the site you recommended. Sending a big hug.Splenderosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421992667097947469noreply@blogger.com
