Last year, My husband's family came to visit. A lot of them. One of the kids was a real wise alec. He jumped in to a PeeGee Hydrangea I had for 3 years. It was gorgeous. Broke it so that it actually split. I had to dig it up. It's a good thing I didn't know about until after they left. :)
It's a goner.
At least this time the local rabbit population didn't nibble it down to nubbins.
