RE: Hydrangea<br><br>Hi Hilda - <br><br>Best way to grow hydrangea in Phoenix is on a wall - of photographs. Like you, I have a LOVE for hydrangea (being from California). But I quickly (to my extensive financial misfortune) came to realization that Phoenix is not the right place for that plant. In my trials I managed to sustain them (16 months) through a mild summer and a generous spring, but still ultimately to a sad demise. (even indoors in an office, I was able to maintain 'blues' for 11 months, succumbing to fungal gnats and diminished blooms.)<br><br>Unless you're willing to build a greenhouse, dedicate hours of effort, ample fertilizer, and filtered/bottled water, I'd advise against attempting hydrangea in Phoenix.<br><br>Has anyone else out there heard of a success story of hydrangea in Phoenix?<br><br>- Vynnie McDaniels<br><br><br><br><b><i>arid_gardener-request@CALS.arizona.edu</i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left:
