By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably Korea, China, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m by climbing up trees. Wikipedia Hydrangea Care Tips... -Water at a rate of 1 inch per week throughout the growing season. ... -Add mulch underneath your hydrangeas to help keep the soil moist and cool. ... -Apply fertilizer based on your specific hydrangeas. ... -Protect against pests and disease by choosing cultivars with resistant traits.

Plant of the day...Spiria Deciduous or semi-evergreen shrubs with alternately arranged leaves that may be toothed or lobed, abundant clusters or spikes of small white, yellow, pink or purple flowers in spring or summer. These plants generally do best in sun and moist, fertile soils that drain well. S. japonica 'Goldflame', aka Japanese spiraea, grows 3 to 4 ft. x as wide with pink flowers in late spring to summer and its foliage changes from bronze-red in spring, yellow-green... in summer and coppery yellow-orange in autumn. Like hydrangea, rhododendron, and lilac, spirea (or spiraea) has joined the ranks as one of the most popular flowering shrubs for the home garden. Their long-lasting blooms and ability to serve a variety of landscape functions from mass plantings and perennial borders to groundcovers and informal hedges have made them a staple in gardens of all sizes. If you’re only familiar with the traditional bridal wreath spirea, a large shrub that can become ungainly if not pruned, you’ll love the versatility and carefree nature of the newer spirea cultivars showcased here. They not only have tidier growth habits but also more vibrant foliage, so they provide seasonal interest even when not in bloom.(gardendesign.com) Prune summer-blooming spirea bushes during the winter or in the spring. Spring bloomers can be pruned right after the flowers are gone. Remove dead wood and trim canes of spring varieties to the ground.

Plant of the day ... Wisteria About Wisteria Wisteria is a long-lived vining plant with cascades of blue to purple flowers that look spectacular hanging from a pergola or archway in spring and early summer. However, this vine is a fast and aggressive groweroften reaching 30+ feet longand is known to grow quite heavy. Wisteria vines will work their way into any crook or cranny they can reach, so it’s advised to not plant them too near to your home.... Wisteria flowers are beautifully fragrant, providing a feast for the senses. After flowering, a brown, bean-like pod stays on the plant until winter. Blooms only appear on new growth. Note: Plant wisteria with caution! All parts of the wisteria plant contain substances called lectin and wisterin, which are toxic to pets, livestock, and humans. These toxins can cause anything from nausea and diarrhea to death if consumed in large amounts. Is Wisteria an Invasive Plant? Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) and Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda) are not native to North America and are considered invasive species in some states. The native wisteria species, American wisteria (Wisteria frutescens) and Kentucky wisteria (Wisteria macrostachya), are great alternatives to the Asian species, so if you’re planning on adding a new wisteria to your garden, we suggest that you go with one of the North American species.
