foxgloves

One plant I cannot grow....

I see hydrangeas for sale up here, I don't know why.
Hope springs eternal I guess.
Foxgloves however, we grow them here and they spread every year. They're starting to become a bit too invasive for my liking.

Foxglove grows in the snow, Mitch?

I have 2 hydrangea bushes in my front garden. they usually bloom around now, but our temps have been lower than usual this year.
in the past I have put acidifier between the two bushes...my soil is clay like so I can sometimes force a multicolor flower! Purple/pink/blue...because if it looks like tie dye...I'm all for it!

invasive for my liking.

I just bought 60 (plus) more flowers at lowes.... that makes about... 360 now

@DutchMuch - are you starting a nursery?

I love hydrangeas. Ours in the front yard are blue - the ones in the back stay pink. No idea why! We did learn last year the difference between mopheads and lace heads when we were researching why some of ours had full, beautiful blooms and the others had unopened buds. We also learned that the big box store sells them all as mopheads, even when they aren't.

Do Hydrangeas work in a bog? We had some outside and when a cold few days came, the flowers all died.

 

[DutchMuch]

Hydrangeas work in a bog

wouldn't think so

 

[MoonShadows]

No, they will not survive in a bog.

to wet will rot the roots .

I say pick up a cheap one and try it. Hydrangea love moist soil. I would not be surprised if it did well planted right on bogs edge.

 

[sissy]

you could leave it in it's pot, just clean the roots well and repot it and see if it struggles .If it does then it is easy to move it
