I also love this tip! Now I have a question, and it might be a dumb one, because I only moved to Colorado 3 years ago and of course I couldn't grow hydrangeas in AZ... but I have bought and planted two, one in each of the past two years. They were growing in pots, and I put them in the dirt in my raised bed in fall. Neither have done squat, maybe a couple of leaves but that is it. They are supposed to be hardy here. Any help or ideas? Will willow tea help them? Now or in the spring? Thanks in advance...
