| I think there's a chance I might still change out the background a little bit. I dry-brushed metallic gold over the blue damask paper, but if I find something a little more ethereal, I might still switch it out. |

Can anyone with more plant knowledge than me tell me...is this just from the hot and cold weather, and do you think it'll spring back? Click image to see better, but you can see a lot of the leaves are not only browned, but curled up. |
They are beautiful and look so lovely on your art cabinet.
ReplyDeleteThe hydrangea could have any number of things wrong with it. Have you examined it for aphids/mites? As most of the damage seems to be on the soft juicy new growth, that's my first instinct.
ReplyDeleteHello Grace,
ReplyDeleteThese are very hardy Victorian bushes.I have had one for 23 years that is now 5 feet tall and about 12 feet round.Every Autumn I just cut it back a little all over and put organic compost from my compost bin around the roots.I also have a rainwater barrel into which I drop some fresh cut nettles.After a week the nettle goodness is in the water and all garden plants love it as a tonic.x
Thank you Rachel! They make me smile.
ReplyDeleteElzebrook, thankfully the hydrangeas bounced back!! Thank you Nosocks...I'll have to try the nettles sometime!!
