Blue Hydrangeas

The Laundry Garden was built up with small stone retaining walls - I suspect there would have been a lot of sneaky watering in those early days.

This shrub has had a rather nice life, being at the edge of a thoroughfare. It's always admired and appreciated, and beautiful blue summer flowers are picked for the house.

Unlike some of my other hydrangeas it's not crowded out by competitors, and has the room to flower brilliantly. And as for pruning - I won't prune until early spring, hoping that the big frosts are over.
