Hydrangeas are definitely trending at HD this year.









Depending on where you are you may see all or some of these this year. The Fairy Trail Bride was really a sight!

Enjoy! Nothing that unusual yet in Texas. No Fairytrail specimens or ads either as of mid-week.

I'm guessing that one will come out in May-June for weddings. The hanging baskets were totally unexpected. I always thought of them as bushes. The biggest one was almost 4' across.

Gosh, I hope they are not waiting for May to sell them here. Hydrangea season is over quickly and many are put 'on sale' by May as temperatures typically skyrocket to the 90s, then to the 110s thru September (so the month of May and later are not a good time to be selling a water intensive shrub). I have seen them online though; just trying hard not to part with the money as they are new and expensive... hee hee hee.

Whether the weather is appropriate doesn't matter when a wedding is involved.
They're kind of a 'use it and lose it' decorative party favor. Also known as a 'Martha' plant. Maybe 50% will be kept and treated as a garden plant.

As in "Stewart"? Love it!

Exactly! I always felt sorry for them when we got them in at the nursery.
