Re: perennials DIGEST V3 #43

I now understand that I should wait till spring to put in new oak leaf
hydrangeas; I do have one, which I grew from plants sent to me about
five years ago from a person who was on this list, who raised them in
the state of Georgia; he sent me about 4 new plants, but only one has
survived; and it hasn't yet flowered, but is a nice little bush;

again, thanks for the response from all.
