Hey guys,
Hope you're all staying warm! We have lots more extreme cold to get through over the next couple of months, but before you know it, those beautiful little Spring flowers will be waking up. We can even begin planting cold weather greens next month, and potatoes a just a few weeks later!
I'm attempting to encourage myself right along with you lol.
So I just wanted to let those who aren't aware know about these amazing Hydrangeas pictured above. These are Paniculata hydrangeas, and people often call "sun hydrangeas." Very different from those that grow in shade and have the large blue and pink balls. Some, such as the limelight and Tardiva, can handle all-day blazing sun. Phantom appreciates a little afternoon shade. All of them are very fast growers, putting on anywhere from 2-3 ft per year!
They are an excellent choice if you need to get up a privacy barrier quick. One that won't have roots that cause worry about pipes and house foundations, won't grow into overhead electric lines, and is very low maintenance and very hardy.
They do lose their foliage in the winter, but most of us aren't outside much when it's cold anyway, and they can become pretty densely branched with yearly pruning. They can be limbed up as well into small tree form, and then underplanted with other things if you want. I have many of these and other varieties available now, and certainly more coming on next year. If these hydrangeas fit the bill, contact me anytime for availability and a shipping quote, or visit my etsy store.
Have a safe and blessed New Year, and while you're longing to be outdoors, plan ahead for things you'd like to order, and projects you'd like to start in your space!
