Ah yes, I picked up Dooley because of its hardiness too. My Hydrangeas got mixed up in the move here, and I lost a few in the drought that year, so I'm not even sure if I still have it. When I was in my early 20s, I remember macros being kinda scarce around here. I tried a few, and usually could get them to survive, but back then they all bloomed on old wood, and winter die back kept me from ever seeing a bloom. I'd see them from time to time in protected environments back then, but nowadays I see them all over.
