  • Monday, January 20, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm – Reliable Hydrangea Blooms? Choose Natives

    Of the seven species of hydrangeas sold in New England nurseries and garden centers, two of these species are native to the US. This Ecological Landscape Alliance webinar presentation on January 20 from 1 – 2 showcases many gorgeous new cultivars bred from these natives, which can be more adaptable to our climate & soil variations.

    Andi Ross will share the “best methods” for choosing, siting, planting, pruning, watering, cutting, and preserving these hydrangeas.
