One of the many reasons I love hydrangeas is that they look good year-round (for a related post on year-round color, click here). Right now, their autumn colors are a highlight. See below some pictures of the pee gee hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) in the Front Border during all four seasons.
Autumn blooms turn pale green and pink.
Winter blooms turn light brown.
Spring after pruning (for a prior post about pruning pee gee hydrangeas, click here).
Summer blooms of brilliant white.

Those are such lovely hydrangeas. For some reason we don't see them that often in our neck of the woods.
I adore hydrangeas, 'all-stars' in the garden for sure!
The writer is totally fair, and there is no question.
