There is a ring – maybe permamulch – around my hydrangea. Do I leave it on when I plant it.

What side of the house do you plant summer crush?

How do I care for my hydrangea in the winter?

I got a hydrangea for Mother’s day. I planted it and now it is wilting and the blooms are turning brown. What can I do to save it?

I NEEDED TO REMOVE TWO LARGE PURPLE-LEAVED BUSHES FROM ALONG THE WALL OF THE SOUTHERN FACING SIDE OF OUR HOME. THEY WERE PLANTED ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF A LARGE SILVER-LEAVED WHITE POM POM BUSH. THE REMOVED DYING BUSHES WERE APPROXIMATELY 10 ‘ TALL AND 15’ WIDE. I’D LIKE TO REPLACE THEM WITH SOME TYPE OF SHORT EVERGREEN PAIRED WITH SPRING/SUMMER LONG BLOOMERS. I HAVE IRIS, PEONIES, AND HOSTA PLANTED ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE GARDEN. ROSES DO NOT DO WELL FOR ME. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!

MY ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA IS NOT BLOOMING – IT IS IN MOSTLY SHADED AREA – IS THIS THE PROBLEM?

MY NEW REDBUD AND CRIMSON PEAK JAPANESE MAPLE TREES WERE AFFECTED BY FROST TWO WEEKS AGO. ALL THE NEW LEAVES AND BRANCHES WHERE DAMAGED. WHAT SHOULD I DO? WILL BOTH TREES RECOVER? SHOULD I FERTILIZE? IF SO, WHAT IS SAFE TO USE??

CAN I PLANT THE MUSIC BOX ROSES IN A LARGE HALF WHISKEY BARREL PLANTER? HOW DEEP DO THEIR ROOTS GROW?

MINE (HYDRANGEA) HASN’T BLOOMED IN SEVERAL YEARS. THE PLANT LOOKS FANTASTIC, JUST DOES NOT BLOOM. IT’S 9 YEARS OLD.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT ZONE I AM IN?
