I just rushed to buy and plant a panicle hydrangea before the hard freeze predicted for last night. I got “Vanilla Strawberry”. It looks to be a beauty, but I’ll have to prune it to keep it within my 4 x 4’ raised cedar bed boundaries, since it gets 4-6’ wide.

Cabin fever must have got to them.
It sounds like the one I just planted, “Berry White”. Panicles love my yard. The Limelight has grown into a 10ft monster. The PeeGee was close to that before hubby accidently cut it down. I’m hoping Berry gets that big.
I have a liitle panicle “Firelight tidbit” that would fit nicely in a pot. I have it in a corner that unfortunately the deer can get to. I’ll have to put it behind some wire.
That sounds exactly like my wife’s garden. I call it the money pit.
RE: The money pit
If only we had invested the money that it took to establish our flower beds over the years. Plastic flowers would have been much more economical. 😁
I looked over the Tidbit online and decided that I liked the Vanilla Strawberry flowers better. It will be work to prune it, as I will probably have to climb into the 4 x 4' 22" deep cedar raised bed it's planted in, but hopefully it will be worth it. I hope that my neighbor's puny little tree on the other side of my 6' white vinyl fence will not shade out my V.S. It gets the morning sun, but will be shaded by the fence as of the afternoon. From what I've read and been told at nurseries, that's OK for zone 7. The L-shaped cedar bed will have some burgundy/reddish types of heucheras in the side arms to the V.S., as they are more sun-hardy than the lighter colored ones and hopefully a couple of the more sun-hardy hostas to keep them company. That's the shady side of the yard. The other side of the yard is the sunny side, now planted with echinacea, gaillardia, rudbeckia, and a few dwarf shrubs. There's also a butterfly bush in its own large pot. Yeah, it's a money pit but I love my plants and the tiny critters they attract, like hummers and butterflies.
This is because their social security is failing.
Not a problem. That’s still plenty of time for same day voter registration, given that no real ID check is needed in dem states. Pulling the lever, using the punch card machine or filling in the oval used to be a real problem for bees, but vote by mail and vote harvesting has taken care of that problem.
Pooh is angry.
