\'luis\' , you are somewhere...hot....Texas?

I was thinking that so many (all? ;)) hydrangeas would have great trouble doing their thing in such a hot, dry climate? I am sure water helps them but still...how do they cope in such harsh summer conditions?

Quoting:How are you liking F&I?


It is by far the largest hydrangea we have as we have a small residential property. Each early spring I need to trim it back to keep it in check. (It is 6 feet tall and an irregular 3 to 4 feet in width). It is a very reliable, relatively early bloomer which keeps it flowers well into Fall. The picture below makes it look like the flowers on this single F&I are browning but it is really the start of a tinge of pink.
