Young Hydrangeas
Posted by Mary Ann Coty | July 28, 2019Purchased three smaller hydranges this early summer an know nothing about them. They are, of course, turning color now and I wonder when is the best time to fertilize them and what do I fertilize them with to keep their color? They are a combo of blue, pink and mauve. Thanks, Mary Ann Coty
