» Feature Writer Joni Rose - Not blooming

Hi Barb,

Okay, I'll admit it, I am lazy. I know that you have a blog on hydrangias (sp?) and I read it. I know that there is an all-things-hydrangia web site but I have a simple question...

My freind has a hydrangia where the petals don't all open. It looks weird but she said it has done this for years. What can she do to get the petals to open?

Joni

» Cottage_Garden - Lacecap Hydrangea or Not blooming

In response to Not blooming posted by Joni188:

My guess is that it is a lacecap type and is doing what it is supposed to do. Some people like the look, some people don't -- because it looks like it isn't open all the way, when in fact it is.

Ahhhh okay. That does look like it. I'll send a link to my freind and she can see if it has the white streaks on the leaves.

Thanks!

» Cottage_Garden - Lacecap Hydrangea vs Mophead

In response to Lacecap Hydrangea or Not blooming posted by Joni188:

It doesn't have to have white streaks (variegation) to be a lacecap, that lacecap term just refers to the flower form. It could have plain green leaves, too. There are many different varieties of lacecap hydrangea. I happend to pick that photo because it showed the bloom *shape* so nicely.

The ones with ball shaped flowers are mopheads. These can have green, gold or variegated foliage as well.

Don't blame me - I didn't make this up!!
