The Millis Garden Club will present Hydrangeas for the Northeast with Cheryl Monroe on Wednesday, March 29 at 7 p.m. at the Millis Public Library; hospitality will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Getting reliable mophead and lacecap hydrangea blooms can be tricky in the Northeast. Questions abound about pruning, changing the color of the flowers from pink to blue (or vice–versa), and correct garden siting. Come learn how to plant, grow, and prune hydrangeas as well as answer the age old question “Why won’t my hydrangea bloom?”
Hydrangeas are not only stunningly beautiful garden plants, they are remarkably resilient if you plant the right ones for your garden. Cheryl will cover zone/climate and the best bloomers, native selections, hydrangeas for sun, shade and in-between, and best of all some superb choices for containers and small garden spaces.
One of our favorite speakers, this will be Cheryl’s third program sponsored by the Millis Garden Club. Open to non-members with a suggested $5 donation. For more information on this program or MGC membership, visit www.millisgardenclub.org or contact Beverly Temple at (508) 376-1014.
