The Blues ~ Color Crazy Blue

Sharing a photo in Kim’s Color Crazy Challenge. Blue is the color for one more day.

I have talked about this blue hydrangea before and it still is a favorite of mine. It prefers shade and is planted in the front of the house where there is a lot of shade. It has done well there for many years. Waiting for it to come to life again soon.

    • Thanks Kim, I hope it does the same this year. I still don’t have a black butterfly bush either but I will. 🙂 You are welcome. The good thin about this one is it is perennial.

  2. Carol, I love the flowers and the shade of blue. What a great flower. I suspect, if I were to try and grow something like this, it wouldn’t last long!

    • Thank you, it is a favorite. It is very easy, even you could grow it! You plant it, mulch it and that is it. At the end of the season, cut it all the way to the ground, then it comes back the next spring. A perennial is my favorite kind of plant.

      • I suspect I would kill it. I am not good growing things outside. I suspect it is years of having to tend my father’s orchard. Now, I would rather relax and watch other people’s flowers!

    • Well if I look hard enough, I wish I had more in the garden. I love blue flowers. And indoors I have a lot of blue because as you said, it is my favorite color.
