Chelle, you got me on that acronym - OSE?
But that's really good info, I have been investing in a few hydrangeas - a variegated NOID, a few Little Limes and a couple of Oak leafs. We tend to have wet early summers, but reeeaaaaallllly dry August/ Sept., and I'm not big on watering
.
Do folks who have established hydrangeas, do you find that you have to water them during dry periods?
