hostas & hydrangeas - July 24th, 2005 at 12:28 AM
Wow! What a great site. I have two questions right off the bat:
Hydrangeas mine are about two feet tall and are an ugly pinky-mauve fronting my orange brick house; friend says I can change the color to green/white (which is what I prefer) by adding coffee grounds at soil level. Will this not, if anything, change blooms to blue because of the acid? Is there anything I can do to get rid of the mauvey pink and get the green/white blooms?
Hostas: Plants are around a year or two old, very long spires with very little flowering on some of them. Should these spires be removed or should I just leave them alone?
Thanking you in advance, and I promise to research the site to avoid redundancy.
