Hydrangea

It's happening 💗😍 #pink

💕💕💕

Lots of leaf buds opening 🌿

Do you cut them back down to the double bud Denise..

I do yes Elaine. Though this year I'll be taking more off as it needs a tidy. Its 5ft! @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

At over 5' tall I think this is the year to cut it back 🤗 ❤️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

1st buds 🤗

If it wasn't for the mini beast arriving this weekend 🌬️ I'd be snipping the heads off.

A touch of the white stuff this morning🌨

Buds buds, glorious buds #rollonspring

Yay, spotted them on mine too, great isn’t it 👍👍

Wonderful Jane 🤗 They start so early don’t they yet survive through the winter?! Tough stuff. @pelly

Soooo many blue tits & long tailed tits in my hydrangea. They seem to be pecking bits off the stems. As long as it’s not my new buds😨. I guess it’s tiny bugs they’re eating? Though I can’t see any. #wildlife #bluetits

Lovely Pic Denise

Thanks Duncan @dbradbury

📷👏👏👏👏

Thanks Judy 😀 @plants

#fadedbeauty and a snail of matching colour!

I hope he's not still in residence Denise 😂😂😂

Oh cripes I forgot to take him off!!😳🙈 @pelly

Oh no Denise, it's a bit too dark now, funny you should post that though as I was just going to put one on of a tiny snail I found on one of my Dahlias flowers. My lodger is long gone 😂😂😂

At least it's not been eating the hydrangea! 😁

My hydrangea is full of buds for next year 🤗 #hydrangeabuds

The spent blooms are still pretty. I'll leave those on until the spring as it protects the new buds. #hydrangea-advice

That's good to know #denise16 I've just put my first hydrangea in! At what stage should I dead head please?

I completely leave them alone until spring. Then in spring look out for the lovely new green buds underneath the new leaves. Only then would I cut the old blooms down to those new leaves 🍃🤗 @AlisonF

Living large 🌸🤗

Hi! Found you via the gt post today, lovely pics, great bio, love this hydrangea - black stems, pinkest of pink flowers 😍

Hi Claudia! Thanks so much, it's a stunner right outside a window too 😀

Nice colour 💜💜💜

Thanks Judy @plants 🤗

A corner view from indoors. Very happy to look at this every day🤗🌺. Though some are now pressing against the window so I'll cut those to bring indoors.
