New stems can flop when they get sufficiently wet or it is extremely windy so, feel free to temporarily add some fencing around the plant to prop...
Preziosa is a very good choice. I believe it is also the winner of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit years ago. It is...
Hello, Kevin. I used to use some wire fencing around my Annabelle Hydrangeas, which also displayed similar issues. I found it was best to add this...
If the leaves are wilted 24/7, either the leaves received some injury or the roots have been injured (for example, they have root rot; they were...

If the plant is replacing all or most of the old wood, it will often produce a lot of new, green stems in Spring.I give my old wood a chance to...

I suspect that your current weather this year has not helped. I suspect that the plant broke dormancy early and then temperatures "crashed"....
I understand. No problem. My camera is temperamental and gives me trouble doing the download of pictures every single time.

Hydrangea roots grow like a pancake on the top 10 cms, more or less. So, here is what I do:Do they need water? insert a finger into the...
You can pot it and control sunlight better but, be aware that camellias in pots require watering, fertilizing and acidifying more often. It is not...
They can grow fine but you have to amend. They tolerate my soil pH of 7.6 and my watering with local alkaline water. But in Spring, I amend the...
The leaves appear serrated, thick, alternately arranged, glossy, like a camellia sasanqua leaf but larger so, I agree too, not a rose. A camellia...
