[SG] Hydrangeas

Hi Matt

I also grow the Var. Lacecap Hydrangea here in zone 6.5 in Gloucester
MA.  It has bloomed 4 out of 5 years.  It is next to a stone wall
south facing.  I would grow it for its foliage anyway I think, as the
flowers  almost make the plant look too busy in my eyes.  The flowers
are always in the foliage.  Gorgeous, but up against all that var. it
is a little much.  Under the bush I have planted some hostas and then
what I think is a great compliment....the ground hugging herb, Winter
Savory.  Beautiful tiny green leaves and it has white flowers in Oct.
here.  Besides a great fragrance, it is used in eggs, salads etc.
The white and deep green look like against the hydrangea when broken
up with the greens of hostas.
