Did you know that the “hydra” in the name of hydrangeas refers to water? Meaning, don’t let these dry out! Not soggy, of course, but not dry, either. And also, cuttings are super easy to root. When you prune them back, just poke a few of the cut stems into the shaded soil near the mother plant. Keep all moist and check back later and voila! New plants!

These lovely ones were in the Matonti garden on the Federal Way Symphony garden tour, actually in Tacoma. They had some fab hydrangeas there, for sure. Catch them next year!
