pruning

Pruning woody plants keeps them vigorous and healthy, as well as improving their shape.

Continually cut back those plants that are dying back to allow more room for those whose bloom period is yet to come. Every plant needs its time in the sun and to strut its stuff unimpeded.

While roses take care, trial and error over time will help a gardener learn which varieties thrive best in their climate.

Sometimes soil can be just slightly acid or neutral with a PH of 6 or 7 and you will get a mix of both pink and blue flowers on the same plant.

Hydrangeas are some of the most beautiful as well as durable shrubs in our gardens.
