This blog purpose is to share my success and failures in gardening in a tropic. I have no particular liking to any plant/ flower but once it caught my attention there is no other way for me but to have it. Since I’ve all the local plant that i fancy, now i cast my eyes far away, temperate flower/plant. Hence the existence of My Experimental Garden Blog. Hope you enjoy my blog.

Long blooming hydrangea
After
almost 2 years finally my hydrangea blessed me with purple blossom.
Three
months later it still doesn’t give up to keeping its bloom even though the petal turns greenish hue.
You should prune it in fall and mulch it, i think you know it already:-)))when i live in Europe i was very jealous of gardener there, they have different flower for every season, the hydrangea blooming like crazy during late spring & summer, unlike here it blooms year round and last very long. The same flower now turning green in colour.
keep the plant well watered, moist growing media with good drainage. Put it under partial shade, mine only get morning sun, i fertilize it 3 times a year after i prune it.
Your hydrangea is very beautiful!I tried to plant a hydrangea in my garden but it didn't resist over the winter:(
