Gerry,
I was interested in your question about hydrangeas. In my zone 5 the
challenge is to find the varieties that bloom on new wood. If they bloom on
old wood, I get a lovely foliage plant, and that's it. One that I bought two
years ago is H. mareisii. It is gorgeous and blooms on new wood. The
snowball-shaped flowers are fuschia and
turn pink. The pink color stays on all summer and doesn't fade. Then in the
fall, the leaves turn a beautiful maroon/red. With the pink flowers, it is
wonderful. Another dwarf, really nice pink is H. 'Pia.'

Those of you who grow them (hydrangeas, not presidents), what is your
favorite and why? (Marge, I expect to hear from you!)
