Everybody always asks me if I change my soil to get these pink blooms. Nope! Panicle hydrangeas turn pink because of cooler temperatures, not soil pH! That’s what makes them so different from macrophylla hydrangeas, which change color based on acidity. Some of you gardeners may know this already. So if your panicles are blushing this time of year, thank the weather, not the dirt! ☺️

🌸 Hydrangea 101: Meet the Whole Family 🌸

Listen up hydrangea lovers! Not all hydrangeas are the same! Here are the main types and their little personalities:

✨ Bigleaf Hydrangea (the drama queen)
•Mophead or lacecap blooms
•Changes color with soil pH (fashionista moment)
•Blooms on old wood

✨ Smooth Hydrangea (the reliable bestie)
•Native + super tough
•‘Annabelle’ = giant snowball flowers
•Blooms on new wood so prune away, she’ll come back!

✨ Panicle Hydrangea (the sunbather)
•Cone-shaped blooms that age from white → pink
•Actually likes more sun than most hydrangeas
•Blooms on new wood = dependable

✨ Oakleaf Hydrangea (the show-off)
•Leaves turn fiery red in fall
•Big white flowers fade to pink
•Gorgeous in shade & brings 4-season interest

✨ Mountain Hydrangea (the little sibling)
•Smaller + delicate, but cold-hardy
•Can change colors like bigleaf
•Perfect for compact gardens

✨ Climbing Hydrangea (the overachiever)
•Grows up trees, fences, and walls like it owns the place
•White lacecap blooms
•Slow start, but once it takes off… unstoppable!

So glad to finally have the front porch clean and ready for fall! I cant wait to pick out some fall plants and bring some fall colors and coziness to the space 🥰

Final part! as some of you know, l’ve been trying to get back into my gardening life consistently. I will have to give you an update on this bed soon.

Edging is my favorite step when creating a new flower bed or cleaning up an existing one. It makes the garden look so neat and tidy. If you do any type of gardening or lawn care, I would definitely recommend this tool for beginner gardeners and experts as well. Natural edges are so much easier to maintain. I just love a good garden transformation!

Of course when I have free time and energy it rains six days straight😂 Oh well…I have to take what I can get. At least I got something done though so there’s that. It feels like April with all the rain! At least the flowers and vegetable garden are getting watered for free ☺️

Quick Tip. Do not cut the top or bottom of your Ty-Raps, also know as Zip Ties, cut a little diamond out of the middle and this way you can yank one out and the rest do not fall over the ground! What's another quick tip you learned that we all should know?

I would absolutely love to find some thing to under plant them with, but I don’t think it would last long 🤣 I even cut out alot of the bottom branches this year and you see there’s still no room under there! I may have to give up on under planting. Maybe I can plant some boxwoods in front of them.

yay or nay on the boxwood border in the comments ⬇️

I love gardening advice and gardening tips and ideas from y’all too 🥰

Look at all those petals! 😍 when it comes to flowers, the more petals the better for me! I really need to add more varieties of roses to my garden!

Using the half moon edger to give my flowerbeds or any garden bed and natural edge is my favorite garden project! It's east to add a bed or edge anywhere. Getting a half moon edger and using it correctly is definitely one of my beginner gardening hacks and tips to make a flowerbed look nice fast.
Easiest part of landscape design imo!
