Hygrangeas for cutting
| | |
Posted by all_bout_flowers z8 OR NC (My Page) on Sun, Aug 10, 08 at 11:25
I am a cut flower grower that would like to add a lot of hygrangeas to my garden specifically for cut flowers. I have recently added Annabelle, Frillebet, and the man I bought the last one from said "Carlina?" He had a heavy spanish accent so I'm not sure on that one, it has a light pink bloom, small flowers; but that can be deceiving if the bloom has been changing color. I was wondering about PeeGee or Tardiva? I would like Limelight, but it is very hard to find where I live. I need some blue if anyone has some ideas. I live on the NW tip of Oregon, climate rains 8 months of the year, mild temp, not much sun.
Thank you,
Kathy |

| From what I have read, I think I would invest in Limelight. Forestfarm carries it and it is the next state over, I believe?? I know that Limelight was one of the flowers of the year for the Specialty Flower Growers Association. I do not have it, but plan to put this in next year after seeing how productive the plant is.

| I find tht my customers will buy any hydrangea in mixed bouquets, even the lace caps. THey sell better then roses or lilies for me! I have found limelights at several places including most mail order sources and it is wonderful. I also like the white oakleaf hydranges that changes colors and hte leaves turn wine red in fall. PInk Diamond is another pretty one and I used it for my Daughters weddings with pinks and burgundies and pale greens. Nikko blue is a classic. I am adding pinks, purples and whites now. |
