Climbing Hydrangea - Set-back - September 2024
I've TOTALLY neglected my climbing hydrangea this year. Compare it with last year - August 2023 - and what you see below and you'll see that this thing is NOT thriving. This leads me to wonder: is it better to stress a perennial like this one out drought-wise - which may lead to a stronger, more resilliant shrub long-term? Or...is this just drought-stress that is tough on this climbing vine?
