Lacecap


Lacecap hydrangeas.
These cool blue beauties grow in my Mama's yard.

I'd love to grow some. But I'm not sure if I have enough shade. 
They would probably turn pink in my yard because the soil is so different here.
Have any of you midwest gardeners had success with these?

    Gayle I haven't had any luck with these but my neighbor has a load of them on her north side and she literally ignores them. They are gorgeous. Best to keep them against the foundation and out of the horrible wind....smiles..Renee

    I planted some 10 years ago here in France but I had not enough shade so they are all gone...... And I love those colors and texture. It's a pity .....but I have so many beautiful roses!!!

    They are so beautiful!

    I've never grown hydrangeas. However.. they are certainly on my 'garden wish list!'

    Hope today is a great one!

    Ah is that what they are called. I've seen them before and thought it was a hydrangea gone wrong.

    So beautiful..........just like a vintage card! I have never tried to raise these beauties, the conditions are so harsh here. I do know that if you change the acidity to your bed, you will be able to have blue or pink.
