Sparking Joy! Hydrangeas.
In this Spark Joy episode, we dive into the wonderful world of hydrangeas — one of New Zealand’s most beloved perennial shrubs, known for their stunning blooms and versatility.
As I recorded this in the height of summer, hydrangeas were truly sparking joy in my garden. Now, as winter sets in, it’s the perfect time to prune your hydrangeas, take cuttings to propagate, plant new hydrangeas, and feed your existing plants. Plus, if you’re looking to adjust your soil’s pH for the best color and health, now’s the moment to get to work!
Hydrangeas also have a special place in permaculture gardens, helping create microclimates and supporting beneficial insects.
Let’s celebrate this beautiful shrub and share tips to keep your hydrangeas thriving year-round.
