Every garden-maker should be an artist along his own lines. That is the only possible way to create a garden, irrespective of size or wealth.

Photo Friday: Endless Summer Hydrangea


Endless Summer Hydrangea nestled among Purple Ruffles Basil. Looks great, smells heavenly. As most of us here in Zone 3-4 are aware, Endless Summer is not fully hardy here. Also, our soil won't hold blue blooms for long. I do baby this little beauty by covering it with leaves every fall. It's been slow going but bit by bit this shrub has been growing and blooming more. By no means a showstopper and a little extra work but seeing this beautiful bloom at the end of September? Yeah, I'll take it.
