Alice Oakleaf Hydrangeas - Planted June 2020
Back in February, I put together a few posts that were an attempt to help me prioritize the new plants and shrubs that we were going to buy this year. Those posts were called Priority Area #1 , #2 and #3 . And a few days ago, I did a check-in on my full 2020 list and mentioned that I was close to getting a big part of #1 done with the planting of some Oakleaf Hydrangeas. In this area, the plan calls for a bunch of new items, but I boiled down the needs to a few specific additions: 1. Some Summer Beauty Alliums 2. Some Alice Oakleaf Hydrangeas 3. Some Fanal Astilbes 4. A larger shade-tolerant Canadian Hemlock and perhaps a columnar tree, too. In May, I posted some photos of the first four Summer Beauty Allium that we planted under the Espalier'd Lindens . You can see one of them in the photo at the top of this post in the purple circle on the far left. In that photo, you can all see that we planted more things. The red circles are Alice Oakleaf Hydrangeas. T
